- Barca’s league games this season average 3.79 goals per game in total.

Correct score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Real Betis
Betis have been absolutely flying of late, with six straight league wins pushing them into Champions League contention.

Player to watch – Lamine Yamal
It was the Lamine Yamal show the last time these sides met, with the teenager scoring and assisting in a 5-1 Barca win in the Copa del Rey in January. He has only scored once in La Liga since El Clasico back in October though.
Yamal’s creative influence
The 17-year-old is already arguably the most creative player in the Spanish top flight. He leads La Liga with 11 assists this term, while he’s averaging 2.0 key passes per game.
