Real Betis – FC Barcelona: Betis – Barcelona: The best signing is Lewandowski
youn month and one day later, Robert Lewandowski to play a league match again with him Barcelona. That is how long the Pole has taken to fulfill the three-game ban that fell on him due to his expulsion and his subsequent gesture in the sadar. Everything indicated that it would be a journey through the desert for the Catalans, but they have managed to reinvent themselves.
The balance is very positive for the Catalans. In these three games they have signed full of points. They have taken nine out of nine without their best player and top scorer. They have done it based on victories by the minimum and, above all, by exhibiting a defensive strength that has rarely been seen in the Barcelona. More accustomed to looking for solutions in attack than in defense, it is surprising that those of xavi they have been able to keep their goal unbeaten all this time.
Lewandowski you will find a barca in a much more idyllic situation than when he played his last clash. Things work out for the culs. So much so that they dominated the standings alone with an unexpected five-point lead over the Real Madrid.
airs of revenge
The Catalans visited the Benito Villamarn tonight. The Real BettyIt has been one of the teams that has made it the most difficult for Barcelona this season. Manuel Pellegrini’s men were close to eliminating the Catalans in the semifinal of the Spain Supercup, but they stayed by the wayside. Today they will seek revenge for that.
on this occasion xavi you can not count on Ousmane Demblé. It will be the first lose of the handful of games that the Frenchman lost due to injury. Don’t go back to what was your home either. Hector Bellern, who left the Catalan club yesterday in search of minutes. The good news is that, in addition to Lewandowski, the culs also recovered Ferran Torres, who was also serving a sanction. Both the Pole and the Valencian point to the starting eleven tonight.
battic opportunity
For the Verdiblancos, today’s appointment, as well as to redeem themselves after what happened in the middle of the month in RiyadhIt is the opportunity to sign the best first round in years and, of course, the highest record of points in the first 19 league games since the arrival of pellegrini to the bench If they win, they will surpass the 33 points of last year by one to complete a half of the campaign tied with the Atletico Madridin the fight for a place champions.
The Engineer will be able to count on practically all of his squad and, after verifying in the last minutes of the game last Saturday against Getafe that his physical condition is already good, he will line up the Frenchman from the start fekir, one of the key footballers in his scheme. So much so that Betis has excessively accused the absences of Nabil and of Juanmi seeing how his number of goals scored was reduced by almost a third compared to last year.
On the other hand, the verdiblancos are, only behind barca and tied with the villarreal, the least thrashed team in LaLiga (only 14 goals conceded in 18 games). A record rarely seen in Helipolis to try to keep before the almighty barca from polish Lewandowskitrying that Ter Stegen not be the star, as in arabia.
The prediction of… Miguel Ángel Morón
1-1
The equality between Betis and Barcelona that could be seen a little over two weeks ago in the Spanish Super Cup may be transferred to LaLiga, taking into account the environment factor, the return of Fekir and the loss of Dembl.
