Barcelona's perfect seven-win start and 31 league goals make the away side the strongest 1X2 lean.

Prediction

Barcelona have made the cleanest possible start to La Liga, winning all seven matches and scoring 31 goals, so the away win is my main angle at Real Betis. Betis are third and have already beaten Real Madrid, which keeps this from being a routine call. I'm leaning towards a 3-1 Barcelona victory, with both teams contributing. Here's where the case gets interesting.

Barcelona's numbers are difficult to argue with. Seven matches, seven wins, 31 goals scored and only seven conceded is a seriously forceful opening to the league campaign. Their last five results underline it: five victories, 24 goals scored and at least three in every match. For me, that makes the Barcelona win the straightforward starting point, even away from home. The 1.45 maximum price reflects a side expected to control the result more often than not.

That said, Betis deserve more respect than the outright price gives them. They are third after seven matches, with five wins, one draw and one defeat, and their recent run includes wins over Getafe, Villarreal and Real Madrid. The goals have been more measured than Barcelona's-nine across seven league games-but they have scored in four of the last five. Barcelona, meanwhile, conceded in four of their last five, including two against both Racing Santander and Levante. That is why I prefer Barcelona to win with BTTS rather than expecting a shutout.

The total-goals market is set aggressively at 2.5, with Over priced at 1.27, but the supplied results justify that stance. Barcelona's last five matches produced 31 combined goals, while Betis' recent fixtures have included 3-1, 3-2 and 7-2 scorelines. I think 1-3 is a plausible outcome: Betis can contribute, but Barcelona's attacking level gives them the clearer route to three points.

FC Barcelona are the deserved away-win lean, with their scoring form pointing towards a game with goals.
