 Competition: Supercopa de EspanaReal Betis and Barcelona travel to Saudi Arabia this week, as the teams take part in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final on Thursday. The Catalans are leading the La Liga race with 41 points, but Betis aren't far behind with a fourth spot in the Spanish top flight just behind Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. These are undoubtedly two of the top four teams in the land competing for a place in the final of the Spanish Super Cup this weekend. The on-paper hosts made a short turnaround from their form of seven defeats/draws from nine games as they won against Ibiza and Rayo Vallecano in the last week. On the other hand, Barcelona have not lost domestically in 15 of the 16 games played, with their last defeat coming against Bayern Munich in Europe. Real Betis vs FC Barcelona Betting Pick #1: Barcelona to winBetis might be sitting in the fourth place, in La Liga, at the moment but their form since early November has been shambolic. Just three wins from the last twelve games played has put them in a tough place mentally and that gives all the favour to Barcelona to grab this opportunity for making it to the final. Xavi's men have struggled against Betis in the last eight meetings, but they have been on an unreal route to victory since August, barring the Champions League debacle.
