Real Betis v Barcelona – Saturday, 5.30pm
View all available markets at William Hill
- Real Betis have made a stunning start to the season, collecting 19 points from eight La Liga games (W6, D1, L1) — matching their best‑ever tally at this stage since 1934/35, the only campaign in which they won the top‑flight title.
- Their form isn’t limited to domestic action either: Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won both of their Champions League fixtures 3–2, including Wednesday’s victory over Porto at the Benito Villamarín. Betis now come into this one seven games unbeaten (W6, D1).
- History, however, is firmly against them. Betis are winless in their last 15 La Liga home meetings with Barcelona (D4, L11), their longest such run against any opponent. Even so, punters can back the hosts at 4/1 with William Hill to finally end that streak.
- Barcelona have made a flawless start to their title defence, winning eight from eight as they chase a third straight La Liga crown — something they haven’t achieved since Pep Guardiola’s era back in 2011.
- Hansi Flick’s side travel to Real Betis having thrashed Galatasaray 4-1 away from home in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening, it’s now ten victories in a row for Barca who simply look unstoppable.
- Barca have scored three or more goals in eight straight games, and could equal their club record of nine here. William Hill price the visitors at 6/5 to win with four or more match goals.
