Play on Betis +1, -115ish and try Betis +525ish
Barca is a true dominant side this season, perhaps the best team I've seen ever. However this is a good spot for an upset. Betis is an underrated side (based on their league position) who is flying after their win in the Seville derby last weekend. They picked up Ricardo Oliveira from Real Zaragoza who joins his former teammate Sergio Garcia helping lead the attack. Betis despite some injury problems have underachieved. With the momentum created last week they will be confident of their chances today.
Barcelona on the other hand are at a slight disadvantage today. Most of their key players were on international duty this past week and played for their national team. As of this time I'm not certain if some will be rested or not but regardless it is a factor. Also note they have needed dramatic comebacks in their last few matches away from home. Last time out against Racing they trailed 1-0 in the second half before Messi rescued them and they won 2-1. Before that a wild late comeback against Osasuna turning around a late 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 in injury time.
Overall I see good value on two teams who may be in different mindsets. Betis reinvigorated while Barca perhaps tired and possibly bored with the league.
