Competition: La Liga

Market: Barcelona to beat Real Betis

Odds: 1/4 @ Bet365

La Liga returns this weekend and there are some massive games to come. The fans will want to see their side return with a win and, with the table so tight, the three points on offer can often see a side climb up a number of places. With this in mind, Real Betis host Barcelona on Sunday.

Real Betis have been in good form this year and they are looking to take an unlikely place in European competition for next season. After 19 games Betis have won eight, drawn three and lost eight, scoring 33 goals and conceding 36 times. In their last five they have won three games and lost twice, which has seen them onto 27 points for the season so far. Betis are currently five points behind Sevilla in the final Europa League spot meaning that a win on Sunday would close the gap and heap pressure on the side.

Barcelona have been superb this season and they are looking to extend their lead at the top. After 19 games they have won 16, drawn three and they are yet to lose, while they have scored 52 times and conceded nine goals. In their last five they have won five in a row, and with Atletico Madrid drawing their last game, Barcelona can increase their lead to a massive 11 points, meaning the title race could be all but over with a huge portion of the season still to go.
