MBRecos recommends a forecast for the Santander League.
Barcelona receives Betis at the Camp Nou immersed in an emergency situation for the points. The Catalans are seventh, just four points below the Andalusians, who hold fifth place with 27 points.
A couple of bets seem attractive to me for this match. On the one hand, we have the out-of-play market. Betis's games average 4.87 positions ahead while Barcelona's average is 4.14. However, there is a particularity since Xavi's arrival on the bench and that is the large number of offsides in the matches. 8 out of the game against New Zealand, against Benfica and 7 against Villarreal. As can be seen, all the meetings are well above the proposed line. This, taking into account that Betis usually concedes a large number of offsides, makes me see this over 4,5 offsides with very good eyes and more at par.
On the other hand, in terms of possession we are seeing a less "sober" Barcelona than one would expect. It is true that against New Zealandnd Benfica they have reached 65%, but against Villarreal the ball has been distributed 50-50%. Betis is another of the teams that likes to handle the ball and, except for the derby against Sevilla where they have stayed with one less, they do not usually give so much possession to the rival, even against the "big" ones. Seeing how they have suffered against Villarreal when they managed to take the ball away from the Barça, I think Pellegrini will try to stand up in this regard. Therefore, in this case I like the under 58,5% possession for Barcelona in Gaming Club, which we also have at quota 2.
