| Date and time | December 6, 2025, 17:30 UTC |
| Venue | Benito Villamarín Stadium (Seville, Spain) |

According to the prediction, this will be a real group confrontation between Manuel Pellegrini’s philosophy and Xavi’s tactical approach.
Statistics of previous matches. Head to head
In the upcoming match against the Catalans, Verdiblancos head coach Manuel Pellegrini is likely to field a 4-2-3-1 lineup. A. Vallejo is expected to lead the attack, supported by A. Ezzalzouli (10), Foralas (8), and García (52). M. Roca (21) and Nathan (4) will be in the center of the field, while A. Ruibal, M. Bartra, N. Deossa, and D. Gomez will be in defense.
Their opponent, Hansi Flick of Barcelona, will use an attacking 4-3-3 formation, according to the prediction. The recognized master R. Lewandowski (9) will be the striker up front. His operational space will be expanded by the young genius L. Yamal (10) and the ubiquitous Raphinha (11). Flick is expected to form the midfield with K. Hernandez, M. Casado, and M. Bernal, adding freshness to the team. The defensive line covering goalkeeper E. Garcia (24) will presumably consist of A. Balde, G. Martin, J. Garcia, and D. Olmo.
The latest head to head stats confirm the high scoring and tension of these football competitions. On April 5, 2025, in La Liga, the teams parted ways with a 1-1 score, which was proof of Real Betis’ ability to take points off the league leaders. However, just a few months earlier, on January 15, 2025, in the Spanish Cup, the “Blaugrana” delivered a crushing 5–1 victory.

| Outcome | Odds | Hidden probability |
| Winner Barcelona | ≈1.74 | ≈55% |

Key betting types and how they work:
- Main outcome. The simplest bet on a win (W1/W2) or a draw (D). If you bet €100 on Barca to win with odds of 1.74, your winnings will be €174 (net profit of €74).
- Total goals. Betting on how many times the ball will cross the goal line before the final whistle, for example, “Total over 2.5” (TB 2.5). Given Barca’s high scoring rate and history of head-to-head matches, this is a popular choice.
- Both teams to score. Prediction on whether both clubs will score. Given the Catalans’ powerful attack and Betis’ home field advantage, the “OZ – Yes” bet often has attractive odds.
- Handicap. Allows you to adjust the odds, for example, F2 (-1.5) on the Blue-Garnet requires the visitors to win by a margin of at least two goals.
