Game Preview
Real Betis and Barcelona will square off at Benito Villamarin Stadium in Seville, Spain, on January 21 for a LaLiga fixture.
İlkay Gündoğan’s penalty kick in extra time helped Barcelona win 2-1 against Las Palmas and maintain their lead in the championship. They were still 7 points behind joint rivals Real Madrid and Girona, who have subsequently moved a point clear, despite that strike. The triumph in the Canary Islands came after edging a 5-goal thriller against Almeria at home, which covered up persistent defensive problems. Before a late Sergi Roberto goal secured all 3 points, the La Liga basement team rallied twice to tie the game. Since then, Real Madrid has humiliated Xavi Hernandez’s team in a 4-1 Spanish Super Cup humiliation in Riyadh. According to reports, he may soon lose his job due to allegations of ineffective strategies and persistent defensive mistakes. Betis can take advantage of their guests’ vulnerabilities, particularly since they have a former Real Madrid star playing well.
Because they have scored multiple goals in 3 of their previous twelve La Liga games at home, Betis has an excellent home record that is based on their strong defense. Only two of their ten home games have seen exactly 3 goals scored; none have seen more than three. Only one of Barcelona’s previous 4 road trips included 3 goals, while none of the other three featured 4 or more. Playing with lots of width is a strategy Manuel Pellegrini has his team using, and it naturally results in winning a lot of flag kicks. They actually play with the highest percentage of their plays down either wing (78%), of any team in the Spanish top tier. A figure that increases to 79% when the game is played at home. Isco Alarcon, who has been among La Liga’s best players this year, will bring his best performance.
