Robert Lewandowski remains Barcelona’s most reliable striking option. With the side’s attacking momentum, he looks well-placed to find the net. Despite several injuries within Barça’s squad, Lewandowski is expected to start.

That attacking potential combined with Barcelona’s possible defensive vulnerabilities justifies the +130 price for a goal or assist.
This match has all signs of being an open, end-to-end battle. Real Betis, buoyed by recent form and home support, should manage to score. Especially if Hernandez gets involved. But Barcelona, even with several key absentees.
