Preview
Barcelona arrive at La Cartuja with a perfect league record: eight wins from eight, scoring 4.25 goals per game home and away. On Tuesday they came from behind to win 4-1 at Galatasaray in the Champions League. Betis are third and in fine form too. They have taken 19 points from eight games and beat Porto 3-2 on Wednesday, with Isco scoring the winning penalty six minutes from time. Both sides are playing their third game in eight days, so some rotation is likely on both benches. Barcelona will probably be without Raphinha again. He missed the Getafe and Galatasaray games with a thigh problem and is reported unlikely to play here, with PSG on 20 October his target. Betis are missing left-back Junior Firpo with an adductor injury. This fixture usually brings goals. The last five meetings produced 24 goals, Barcelona won three and drew two, and both teams scored every time. We rate a Barcelona win at 65%.
Barcelona have won every league game and still look strong without Raphinha. Our surest pick is a Barcelona win at 1.47, rated at 65%.
