Barcelona are undoubtedly the favorites to win their Spanish La Liga game against Real Betus this weekend but when you consider the Real Betis recent run of good form which also saw the beat Real Madrid, I think they stand a chance of forcing Barcelona to drop points in that game. As someone who desperately wants to see Real Madrid successfully defend the Spanish La Liga title this season, it's my wish that Real Betis leaves with at least a point in the that game so Real Madrid would have the chance of closing their points difference behind Barcelona
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid can only compete to reach the standings of Barcelona but we know how everything is flowing through. Barcelona have proven to be the main contender for the La Liga title this season. They're beating every oppositions with ease efforts, always coming from behind to surpass their rivalries. Hansi Flick is happy with the club, he's controlling the club to his own very taste. The manager inculcate winning mentality towards his players and this have helped them in every substantial crucial scenario.
Under Hansi Flick's tutelage, Barcelona has performed very impressively, this is no longer in doubt after seeing Barcelona's game so far, they have even performed very well in La Liga, UCL League, and Copa del Rey. However, Real Betis is also not an easy opponent, plus Real Betis' recent performance has been very impressive, they have even managed to record 6 consecutive wins in La Liga. So this match can be said to be between Barcelona, which is a team with high goal productivity lately, will face a team that is currently in good form since the arrival of Antony from Man United.
Moreover, Real Betis is also eyeing a victory in this match in order to enter the UCL League zone. Prediction, Barcelona will not be easy to beat Real Betis who are in their best form, even if Barcelona wins it will take a hard struggle. And this is what makes Hansi Flick in a dilemma, of course besides this match being important to win, on the other hand they also have to maintain the fitness of their players to face Dortmund in the UCL League later. Real Betis has the potential to get a draw, but we will see later whether Real Betis is able to appear with the same mentality as when facing Real Madrid or whether their mentality will decrease.
Barcelona players will be additionally motivated by Real's match result, because they play earlier today than Barcelona. To some extent, it may indeed motivate Barça players, but I think they are already in a very good shape to beat Real Betis. You are right to point out that the latter are in good form, but you haven't paid attention to their performance. If you look not only at their performances in the league, but also in general, you will notice that they are unstable in this respect, but more often than not they score little. What's telling here, you can see it even from their goal difference within La Liga
