While both of these sides move into their respective quarterfinal competitions in Europe within the next week, the inescapable fact is that both often seem to be scoring goals for fun lately--especially Barca. On 82 goals thru 29 Liga matches, Barca are one of the most prolific sides in Europe, with goals coming from all angles, especially via Robert Lewandowski, on an amazing 38 goals in all competitions this term and off of another brace of goals in his last Liga match vs. Girona last Sunday. Staying sharp is also important for Barca to maintain its 3-point edge on Real Madrid in the domestic table. Meanwhile Betis is liking its chances in the Conference League, to resume Thursday vs. Jagiellonia Bialystok, but will be going it on Saturday minus creative influence Isco, out on suspension. Barca's recent wins at Montjuic have all been by one goal or more as well, so we don't mind laying the extra goal. Also note the 5-1 Barca win in the Copa del Rey at Montjuic on January 15.
