After delivering an eighth successive winner on Wednesday night, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Real Betis from La Liga on Saturday night.
Barcelona vs Real Betis (Saturday, 20:00)
Barcelona will be bidding to make it 10 La Liga wins in succession when they entertain Real Betis at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Saturday night.
Hansi Flick’s side kept their three-point lead over Real Madrid intact with a dominant 4-1 win over Girona last Sunday afternoon.
Real Betis, are also ticking along nicely, triumphing in each of their last six outings in the Spanish top flight.
However, it would be fair to say that the Greens will be hard tasked in their bid to extend that sequence to seven victories when they go up against star-studded Barcelona on Saturday night.
While the Catalan giants are too short to side with as a single selection, star forward Robert Lewandowski is very backable as an anytime goalscorer play at 5/6 with Bet 365.
The Polish sharpshooter has plundered in no fewer than 25 goals across his 28 outings in the Spanish top flight this term to date.
The most recent of those strikes arrived during last week’s aforementioned 4-1 win over Girona, with Lewandowski’s brace bringing up my Bet Builder.
Drill a little deeper and it can be seen that 12 of Lewandowski’s 25 league goals this season have been scored at Barcelona’s temporary home.
In addition, the veteran forward has scored at least one strike in each of his last six La Liga outings in front of his own supporters.
The fact Lewandowski scored in this season’s reverse fixture with Real Betis adds further weight to supporting this particular selection on Saturday night.
It’s also worth noting that Manuel Pellegrini’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in 22 of their 29 La Liga assignments this season so far, including 12 of their 14 away days.
With all that in mind, backing Barcelona's biggest goal threat to make the net bulge on Saturday night stands out at the odds on offer.
