There is a good reason not to fully trust this Barcelona side, who have basically not played a full 90 minutes well even once this season and who have their biggest match of the season awaiting next week in Munich, but the odds... and it still is Barcelona, who are improving under Xavi.

I am ready to dismiss all data under Koeman, but what is happening now under Xavi?

There have a lot of good elements especially in the attack. Xavi have introduced some new wide young players as for him the it is the key to keep the width of the formation as big as possible. He rather takes then a teenage winger who is used to the position, than for example a seasoned full-back and tries to teach them new tricks. Xavi has made horrible errors already as well, as with the role of Eric Garcia when he was in a man-marking task all over the pitch!

None of the Xavi's games has been excellent for the full game, but they have been superior for about one half of the game, and no one can deny the talent they have on the pitch.Nico Gonzalez might actually be a bigger future star than Gavi is.

Betis have been good, Canales and Fekir have been superb in the midfield but Fekir is suspended today. The best scorer so far has been Juanmi with 9 goals, probably no one expected him to score 10 or more for the whole season and it smells like an over-performance there. A look at xG-data reveals that indeed he has had chances worth of only 4 goals or so.

The missing Fekir has himself scored 2 and assisted 4 of the Betis goals, and he is key figure of the attacking play.

Betis are 5th in the table, the performance data puts them into 7th place, and while they miss Fekir and a few other less important ones their lineup today is somewhere around 10th best in the league.

I am not saying this is easy win over handicap, on the contrary it is not quite even 50% to happen, but if there odds like this offered we take them!

3-1

我们有充分的理由不完全信任这支巴塞罗那球队，他们本赛季基本上没有踢满90分钟，甚至连一次都没有打好，他们本赛季最重要的比赛下周将在慕尼黑举行，但可能性……现在仍然是巴萨，他们在哈维的带领下正在进步。

我已经准备好忽略科曼手下的所有数据，但是现在哈维手下又发生了什么呢?

有很多好的元素，尤其是在进攻中。哈维引进了一些新的边路年轻球员，对他来说，关键是保持阵型的宽度尽可能大。他更愿意选择一个习惯了这个位置的年轻边锋，而不是一个经验丰富的边后卫，并试图教他们新的技巧。哈维也犯过可怕的错误，就像埃里克加西亚在球场上盯人一样!

哈维在整场比赛中没有一场表现出色，但他们在半场比赛中表现出色，而且没有人能否认他们在球场上的天赋。尼科·冈萨雷斯可能会成为比全球疫苗免疫联盟更耀眼的未来明星。

贝蒂斯表现不错，卡纳莱斯和费基尔在中场表现出色，但费基尔今天被禁赛。目前为止最好的射手是Juanmi，他打进了9个球，可能没有人期望他在整个赛季中打进10个或更多的球，这闻起来像是表现过度了。看看xg的数据就会发现他的进球机会只有4个左右。

在贝蒂斯的比赛中，费基尔独中2球，助攻4球，他是进攻的关键人物。

贝蒂斯在积分榜上排名第五，从表现数据来看，他们排在第七，虽然他们没有费基尔和其他一些不太重要的球员，但他们今天的阵容在联盟中大约排名第十。

我并不是说这是容易战胜不利条件，相反，它甚至不是50%发生，但如果有这样的可能性，我们采取他们!

预测比分3:1。
