The second semi-final pair of the Spanish Super Cup will be Betis and Barcelona. Both teams enter this match in a good mood because they achieved important victories in very difficult away games. Betis managed to win three points against Rayo Vallecano in a very difficult match, while Barca had an even tougher task as a guest and won against Atletico Madrid. This will be a duel between the two best defenses in the Spanish League and despite the fact that Barça is the favorite in this match, I do not believe that they will be able to achieve a convincing victory, if there is a winner at all after 90 minutes. Betis is a team that in recent history knew how to make the two biggest Spanish clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, suffer. In the vast majority of cases, if there was a defeat, it did not happen with a difference of more than two goals, and I am quite sure that we will see a similar scenario today. Betis is certainly not a team to be underestimated and has fantastic players like Fekir, Canales, Borja Iglesias, Carvalho... I am quite sure that they will know how to play this match and that they will have enough opportunities to threaten Barcelona's goal. Out of the last 9 mutual matches, Betis failed to score in only one, which only confirms that they are capable of disrupting the plans of the big favorite.
After the victory in Madrid, Barcelona is alone at the top of the Primera table with 3 points more than Real Madrid. Certainly, that victory meant a lot to the team and that they enter this match in a very good mood. Unlike that match, today they will be able to count on Lewandowski, which will certainly be of great help to them. I must say that they are deservedly the favorites in this match, but I really believe that they will not win with more than one goal difference. As I already said, Betis has a very good defense and attack that can create problems for Barca, but also Barcelona's style of play is not so attacking. Unlike, for example, Bayern Munich, which constantly attacks the opponent and the rivals do not know where the greatest danger is coming from, Barca's game is quite predictable. Endless passes in front of the opponent's penalty area, waiting for someone from the opponent's defense to drop out of formation and then create a chance with the ball into the area. They are not a team that will attack if they take the lead, as was seen in the match against Atlético when they did not have a single shot on goal in the second half. Due to all of the above, if Barça manages to win this match, I believe that it will not be won by more than one goal difference.
