This is not about the position in the standings but proof for Barcelona whether they can be better after several matches ago experiencing a series of good results and in the last match Barcelona was able to win the match again when visiting Mallorca's headquarters and this week Barcelona again faced a tough obstacle when visiting Real Betis' headquarters.
This is a difficult match for Barcelona because Real Betis plays quite strongly at home and even in the previous 5 home matches Real Betis has not experienced defeat but on the other hand Barcelona is also quite strong after Yamal recovered from his injury making Barcelona's attack line more productive.
Odds @ 1.57 for Barcelona's victory in this match, I think it's worth betting on because overall throughout this season Barcelona's performance has been quite good under Flick's coaching, and I still believe they can continue to perform better every week, and I will bet big on Barcelona's victory.
Standings position is still very important, Barcelona finally failed to win, they should have won but there was mistake that allowed Real Betis to score second goal to equalize, now Real Madrid has great opportunity to take over the top position of the standings because they are only 2 points apart.
For the front position in Barcelona attack line, I see it has started to improve and is back to being productive with really sharp attack, but the problem is that Barcelona has less than optimal defense because Real Betis game also prioritizes their attack line in the match.
If you really take Barcelona as the favorite to win the match then it is losing bet.
