It won’t be easy but Betis has enough quality to take at least a point from here.

Betis had a fantastic season. Won the Spanish Cup a few days ago, which gave them a lot of motivation and confidence for the rest of the season.

They are playing a great football and making a nice campaign, sitting 5th on the table and with real chances to make another fantastic achievement - get a Champions League spot (TOP4). Are just 3 points below Atletico (who are in a very bad run), so the chances are real with 4 games (12 points) remaining to play. The question is if players will go for it.

Physically, Betis is in a bad mood. The team looks exhausted but are still getting great results thanks to their quality. Also this week the players had free days to rest and charge their batteries in order to be at 100% in this difficult week, with 3 games in 8 days.

This game will be the first one at home since the achievement of the Cup, so the support by fans will be huge. And playing against Barcelona, surely players will have a lot of motivation.

On the other hand, Barcelona is in a very bad moment. Their season has been terrible, and in La Liga they only had a small good period which already ended with the victories against Madrid and Sevilla 1 month ago.

Since then, they haven't been able to make any good performances. Even against weak relegation teams they weren’t able to create never more than 2 xG (expected goals) in the last 5 league fixtures (Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Cadiz, Levante, Rayo Vallecano), something that they will really need if they want to win against Betis in this match.

This is a clear signal of their bad moment in attack, without any striker or good topscorer, in spite that they are dominating the games with ball possession. Furthermore, in defense are conceding a lot, as they were able to keep the goal to nil only against Real Sociedad (5th worst attack of the league) in the last 7 games, including Eintracht who scored them 4 goals (3 in Camp Nou) in Europa League.

Some reasons which may be behind these poor performances are the recent absences of best midfielder Pedri (key player to convert dominance in real danger) and best defender Pique (key player to keep the goal to nil). Replacement of Pique - Eric Garcia is making huge mistakes in every single game.

They just need one point to be mathematically qualified for the Champions League, so we can agree that they have nothing in play already.

Betis already beat Barcelona 0-1 in Camp Nou this season. Now they are even in better shape (the team has a great chemistry) and with an incredible amount of motivation after the Cup title. This added to the crowd support and the bad moment of Barcelona makes me think that hosts can achieve some point here and show that are still hungry: want to play the Champions League next season.

这并不容易，但贝蒂斯有足够的实力至少从这里拿下一分。

贝蒂斯度过了一个美妙的赛季。几天前赢得了西班牙杯，这给了他们在赛季剩余时间里很大的动力和信心。

他们踢出了一场精彩的足球比赛，取得了不错的成绩，在积分榜上排名第五，并且有真正的机会取得另一项非凡的成就——获得欧冠席位（TOP4）。仅比马竞低 3 分（他们的表现非常糟糕），所以剩下 4 场比赛（12 分）的机会是真实的。问题是球员是否愿意。

身体上，贝蒂斯并不理想。球队看起来很累，但由于他们的素质，他们仍然取得了很好的成绩。同样在本周，球员们有空闲的时间来休息，以便在这个艰难的一周中保持 100% 的状态，8 天内有 3 场比赛。

这场比赛将是杯赛成就以来的第一场主场比赛，球迷的支持将是巨大的。和巴塞罗那比赛，玩家肯定会有很大的动力。

另一方面，巴塞罗那正处于一个非常糟糕的时刻。他们的赛季很糟糕，在西甲联赛中，他们只有一段短暂的好时光，一个月前就已经以战胜马德里和塞维利亚的胜利告终。

从那以后，他们就再也没有表现出色。即使面对弱保级球队，他们在过去 5 场联赛（皇家社会、马洛卡、加的斯、莱万特、巴列卡诺）中创造的 xG（预期进球）也不能超过 2 个，如果他们想要的话，这是他们真正需要的本场比赛战胜贝蒂斯。 这清楚地表明了他们在进攻方面的糟糕状态，没有任何前锋或优秀的射手，尽管他们在控球方面统治着比赛。此外，在防守端失球很多，因为在过去的 7 场比赛中，他们仅在对阵皇家社会（联赛第 5 次最差进攻）的比赛中将进球保持在零，其中包括为他们打进 4 球的埃因特拉赫特（在诺坎普攻入 3 球）在欧联杯。

这些糟糕表现背后的一些原因可能是最近缺席了最佳中场球员佩德里（在真正危险中转换统治地位的关键球员）和最佳后卫皮克（保持进球为零的关键球员）。皮克的替补——埃里克·加西亚在每场比赛中都犯了巨大的错误。

他们只需要一分就能在数学上获得欧冠资格，所以我们可以认为他们已经没有什么目标了。

贝蒂斯本赛季已经在诺坎普0-1击败巴塞罗那。现在他们的状态更好（球队有很好的化学反应），并且在获得杯赛冠军后有着难以置信的动力。这增加了人群的支持，巴塞罗那的糟糕时刻让我认为东道主可以在这里取得一些成绩，并表明他们仍然很渴望想在下赛季打欧冠。
