Just a month ago, Real Betis was on the verge of breaking into La Liga's top six, holding a spot that guaranteed European competition. However, with only two points from their last four matches, they have quickly slipped to 10th place in the standings. Their last two losses came on the road against Valencia and Real Sociedad, and now they return home to face an even tougher challenge - one of the best teams in Spain and Europe, Barcelona.

The league leaders bounced back from a run of three poor results with a commanding 5-1 victory over Mallorca. Losses to Las Palmas and Real Sociedad, especially the former, were particularly painful. Barcelona needs to maintain their lead over Real Madrid, making the upcoming fixtures crucial. Injuries to key defenders have taken their toll, leaving the Catalans' defense under pressure.

Betis vs Barcelona pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Betis could take advantage of the gaps in Barcelona's defensive line, especially considering they've managed to score at least once in their last seven home games against this opponent. We all know how potent Barcelona's attack is, and it’s hard to imagine them not finding the back of the net at least once. All indicators point to an exciting and high-scoring match, with both teams likely to score at least one goal.
