Betis vs Barcelona, Supercup Semifinal.

I think, Barcelona will definitely win this match with many goals to move to the next level of this la Liga league competition, because their past performance has showed how strong they are in this season. It will be difficult for Betis to use home advantage to defeat Barcelona, because Barcelona will never allow such thing to happen than to apply the strategies that made them not to lost in 7 matches. I believe, Barcelona will make this match a wonderful match to the eyes of their fans by defeating Betis 3-0 to achieve the points from the match.

Well, you can't say for sure. Barcelona is on the rise and hasn't lost against Betis in 6 of their last 8 matches, so yes, the chance that Barcelona will win is great, but Betis is not an easy team either, they haven't lost 7 of their last 9 matches. Their last loss was to Atalanta. In general, I would estimate the chances of Barcelona's victory at 60%, but I think that in any case the game should be interesting, unlike the boring game between Real Madrid and Valencia, where Real only managed to beat Valencia on penalties.

It looks like the Super Cup match between Real Madrid v Valencia has started or is about to start and this is the semifinal match, and the other match that will be played tomorrow is the match between Betis v Barcelona.

An exciting match between Real Madrid vs Valencia, both of which presented stunning matches. In fact, Real Madrid really controlled the game, but sometimes stalemate when in front of the opponent's goal. Until finally the score ended in a 1-1 draw at 90 minutes. And then it went into additional extra time but the score did not change and forced the two teams to continue into the penalty shootout, but unfortunately two Valencia players failed to take a penalty kick, with this result Real Madrid progressed into the super cup final and still waiting for the results of the other semifinal between Real Betis vs Barcelona which will take place today.

Betis vs Barcelona, Supercup Semifinal.

A final between Real Madrid and Barcelona was what I predicted, and it taking shape that way already with Real Madrid's Lucky win through penalties against Valencia. Barcelona will win against Betis even though they have been the winners in their last two games against Ibiza Islas Pitiusas and Rayo Vallecano. I watched how Barcelona played against Atletico Madrid, they had a very fast moving and quick attack which not all teams can handle including Betis if I am asked. Barcelona will win, it will be a Real Madrid and Barcelona final in the Super cup.

This is a good thing for those who love football. The domination of Real Madrid alone flattens the game and makes the championship boring. Another aggressive and strong player like Barcelona (thanks to Xavi and the company he has decided to invest in) puts a spanner in Real Madrid's works, which will make mistakes under pressure.
Carlo Ancelotti is very good, but let's remember that the coach and players are human and therefore can make mistakes.
Honestly, I'm not happy if Real Madrid lose, I like them as a team. But I like seeing the Barcelona of the golden age even more, so let's hope Xavi succeeds in his intent.

the hope of an ideal final between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Super Cup is very possible to happen, Barcelona is currently very developed and they are slowly returning to their best form.
Betis vs Barcelona semifinal, on paper Barcelona is very superior, looking at the last few matches of these two teams, Barcelona continues to improve while Betis has experienced a decline in its last 5 matches.
so I think there is no doubt that Barcelona will be able to win this semi-final convincingly.

[Pokapoka124]

It looks like the Super Cup match between Real Madrid v Valencia has started or is about to start and this is the semifinal match, and the other match that will be played tomorrow is the match between Betis v Barcelona. It looks like Real Madrid and Barcelona will play in the Super Cup final because it looks like Valencia and Betis this season are not too promising to be able to provide strong resistance for the big teams in La Liga.
So yes, I personally don't care about the strategy and the players he plays, because it looks like at this moment or this season the rivalry of Real Madrid and Barcelona will indeed continue. With the ambition to prove their quality, then of course Real Madrid and Barcelona will be able to win the match in the semi-finals of the Super Cup this time.

Benzema is back and made headlines in yesterday’s game. Real Madrid advances to the finals after defeating Valencia in a penalty shoot out. I will say Real Madrid were lucky the game finished in a draw. I couldn't believe they let a goal slip in, in favor of Valencia, I expected them to defend the goal they got and try scoring more but I was disappointed at their performance tonight. It wasn't the best of Real Madrid we saw last night and I hope they won't repeat this kind of performance in the Super Cup finals.

Barcelona is the ideal opponent for Real Madrid in the final match, so Barcelona should be able to win their semifinal match. And if a meeting between these two rivals does happen it will be even more exciting because it is an opportunity for both clubs to show who is the better of them. In La Liga, Real Madrid's balance was slightly disturbed by experiencing a negative result in their last match l, while Barcelona was able to widen their points again because they managed to get 3 points in their 16th week. So I hope this final match will bring Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

Yes, we really admit that Xavi's contribution at Barcelona is quite significant, even though it's not perfect. But for what he's trying to do, his courage, and all kinds of improvements should be appreciated. Moreover, he might be considered a new coach. Even though sometimes Barcelona still can't be as excellent as it used to be, its conditions are now different. Likewise with Real Madrid. Their conditions are not as excellent as they used to be when they were in their heyday. But what is certain is that even now they are still La Liga giants and the fierce competition between the two is still very much felt.

Barcelona has entered the semi-finals, and at the moment they have managed to maintain their position at the top of the standings, which is a good achievement. With the strategic direction from Xavi making Barcelona the number one it is today, hopefully Barcelona will get a win in La Liga even though Real Madrid is the main opponent. not easy to beat.

Xavi has found a potent potion in defence, the combination of Kounde, Araujo, Christensen and Balde made the defense even stronger. Atletico have experienced how difficult it is to penetrate Barcelona defense when escorted by these four players.
Barcelona have improved since being held to a draw by Espanyol, Xavi began to form a solid defense due to mistakes that have been made. Barcelona is already three points ahead of Real Madrid, Xavi will continue to try to maintain his team's performance to keep his position safe from Real Madrid's pursuit.

I think Barcelona will win that game and meet Real Madrid in the super cup final. In terms of the quality of the squad and the statistics of the last match, Barcelona is actually far superior to win compared to Real Betis. Notably, Barcelona have never lost in their last seven matches in La Liga with six of them being wins.

These results make Barcelona now top the Spanish League standings with the acquisition of 41 points, three points ahead of Real Madrid in second place. Victory must also be won by Barcelona, because last season they failed to win the title where Barcelona had to fast for the title to be runners up in La Liga, eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, fell in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey and became the semifinalists of the Spanish Super Cup. this match is a chance for barcelona to show their strength

[tygeade]

Not underestimating, but if Sevilla continues like this, I'm not sure they can get out of the Relegation Zone. unless they really try and come up with a nicer change.

Indeed two three seasons ago Sevilla were a pretty good team. But this season they haven't changed much tend to be in decline. Sevilla can always finish in fourth place. They can make it difficult for Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid to compete.
If I look, their main players for the season are gone. Furthermore they can't get a good change. They failed to do transfer management. Isco's arrival also piled up a lot of midfielders.
Lopetegui should have been able to prevent this bad transfer. Or they could start selling excess players in search of replacements for their two departing central defenders Kounde and Diego Carlos.

Maybe that's what they need? I mean it's obvious that they are not doing awesome, it's obvious that we are talking about a bad situation and people might wonder "why would they need to lose?" but the reality is that you can't get better before you hit the bottom. Sevilla may not go down, maybe their bottom was this and they will stay, but they need to have a few bad seasons in their entire history to go back wanting never to be there again.

Every generation all teams has to have like some terrible year, some great teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid wouldn't have bad years like THIS bad, but could be like 4th or 5th once every 20-30 years, and that would be a way to get better.

[Davian144]

Sevilla's next opponent is Girona and it can be a bit tricky because it seems this season even if they didn't get 3 points but they always try to get 1 point in their matches.
Girona's statistics are also quite good now at least in their last 5 matches 3 draws and 2 wins is something good for a mid-table club.
Sevilla have to work extra again at this time because they might get another problem amidst the condition of preparing to get away from the relegation zone.

This time it is clear that Sevilla is facing a more complicated match because Sevilla really needs a win to get away from the relegation zone. Especially now that Sevilla's points are equal to Cadiz's points which are already in the zone, so this match is really a very important match for Sevilla in getting full points so that they can create a little distance from Cadiz, which is still in the relegation zone. Although on the one hand the Girona team will also try to win so that they can continue to survive in the middle of the standings at this time.

Hopefully Xavi will continue to elevate FC Barcelona.
Both patience and time are required. According to my estimation, the team won't reach its pinnacle for about four seasons. It's similar to seeing Arsenal two years ago when all of their young players.
All of the players for example Ansu, Balde, Gavi, and some others were losing a ridiculous number of balls, and for some reason.
I can clearly recall how terrible Frankie was playing at that time.

These results make Barcelona now top the Spanish League standings with the acquisition of 41 points, three points ahead of Real Madrid in second place. Victory must also be won by Barcelona, because last season they failed to win the title where Barcelona had to fast for the title to be runners up in La Liga

Barcelona runner up position last season was a good one for them because they started last season very bad, many fans thought they were not going to even qualify for the champions league, but the club signed Xavi and he was able to change things for them, and in the end Barcelona were able to finish 2nd, nobody expected them to win the title last season, Real Madrid was above everybody last season. But this season is different, Barcelona are top of La Liga and they can win it, they were disappointing in the champions league and have been eliminated to the Europa league, but it can be like a blessing to them so they can place every attention to the La Liga, the race is still long, but i believe Xavi and his players can do it.

In terms of players, they are indeed quite strong and the favorites now, but in terms of current cohesiveness, Real Betis are not losing at the moment.
Real Betis in the last few seasons have always had consistency which is quite good for a team with players who are actually of the same quality.
M. Pellegrini Ripamonti always pulls off some surprises which are always very good so this could be tough even if Barcelona are the favourites.

On the other hand, playing as a home match is clearly another advantage for Real Betis because indeed in this case there are always supporters who are sure to fill the stands which can be a differentiator.

Last season I didn't expect Barcelona to win the league and neither did I expect them to be in top 4, how they managed to end 2nd was a miracle because Sevilla was even clearly ahead of Barcelona in the table.
Xavi and his boys showed excellent performance and ended second in the league. It seems that Xavi understands the Laliga very well more than the Champions League and Europa League.

Xavi has bigger chance to win la liga unlike another league like champion league and europa league. It's caused by once barcelona was getting knock out and there's no way for barcelona to play again in the competition. that means barcelona must go back to the home while it's different when it was running in the league. Once you were losing against another team and you will still have a chance to wake up and comeback even stronger.
That's why what it needs is only consistently from the team. The competition like europa league and champion league were far harder compared with la liga. did you remember once barcelone lose against frankfurt? Bunch of cules were underestimated frankfurt at the moment and yeah barcelona lost.

Apart from the La Liga trophy, I also believe that Barcelona's chances of winning the Supercopa de Espana trophy are quite large compared to their chance winning the European league

barcelona is a team that often wins the super spanish cup and real betis is not a strong enemy because of the last 8 meetings they have had, barcelona won 7x while real betis won 1x

[swogerino]

Today is not a difficult game in theory for Barcelona despite the opponent being in fourth place in La Liga,this Supercup game I think it will be won by Barcelona and most likely we will see both teams to score during this game.I know that in the past Barcelona had difficulties winning against teams managed by Manuel Pellegrini but I think this time Barcelona is in super form and I think Real Betis simply lack the force to oppose Barcelona in this form they are.I think the best bet here is both teams to score as usually in finals both teams score and the odd at 1.79 is really great for this to happen.

[Pokapoka124]

Lewandoski has pretty much made his mark while playing for Barcelona. I initially had thought it would be a tough one for the club to find a replacement following Messi’s leave from the club. But Lewandoski has proved to be a prolific striker and goal scorer, scoring about 13 goals so far. He has proven to be able to adapt and fit into Barcelona style of play. Barcelona may not feel the absence of Messi with Lewandoski around.
He may still be settling in, but he seems to have settled in already and already very comfortable in a Barcelona shirt.

Robert Lewandowski has scored 19 goals for Barcelona in 21 appearances in 3 different competitions. In 15 appearances in Laliga Robert Lewandowski has scored 13 goals, while he has also scored 5 goals in the Champions League this season in 5 appearances. So, whoever says Lewandowski isn't good enough then I think they just want to see him bigger this season with Barcelona. Everything is fine, but I'm really sorry about the ban he's getting at the moment.

I don't know how many appearances Lewandowski will have with Barcelona in Laliga, but I'm sure that in 30-50 appearances he will score more than 50 goals. That's a possibility based on Lewandowski's current performance, not a certainty of course.

Lewandowski's stats just keep going up, he never stops scoring. At this age and level in his career I was expecting a massive decline because of his age but it turns out age isn't a barrier for the Polish star with 21 goals already to his name in all competitions for Barcelona. Whoever says Lewandowski is not good enough does not know what’s he is talking about.

Barcelona are now stronger than Betis, Betis' advantage will only be that they play at home, but I looked at the results of Barcelona away and I see that it does not matter where they play, their results are equally good both at home and away. Everything goes to the fact that we will see Barcelona in the final against Real Madrid. And I'm not sure if Betis can score today, Barcelona's defense is playing very well, so today it could be something like 0-1 or 0-2.

@Cryptmuster I just saw the Barcelona squad and it looks like they have called their best player’s for this match, and it’s pertinent to note that Lewandowski is eligible to play in this fixture hence I expect him to score at least one goal.

Lastly with Barcelona playing with such a strong squad I just can’t see them lost this fixture, and personally I always wish to see more Real Madrid vs Barcelona game’s as they’re full of entertainment so let’s hope that we get to see another El Clásico soon.
