Leicester City, on the other hand, made 7 efforts on goal, with just two of them going in the net. Leicester City’s goal came from Kelechi Heanach in the 91st minute.
A string of tenacious performances by the Tottenham Hotspur defense has resulted in the team conceding only four goals in their previous six matches overall. In total, 15 goals were scored by them throughout the same period. That kind of trend, on the other hand, is not certain to be carried over into this next game.

Four days at the end of the championship and the fight for the places that are worth the Champions is getting more and more alive in the Liga. Betis, fifth at 58, faces Barcelona, second at 66. The Andalusians must recover three points at Atletico Madrid to fully return to the race, while the Baugrana cannot be calm either because they have recently slipped several times, two of them defeats in the last four games against Rayo Vallecano and Cadiz, teams much less strong than their next opponents.
Betis also slowed down, and in the last three rounds they never won, drawing with Real Sociedad and Getafe and losing against Elche. Both of them need to get better so that they can try to qualify for the most important club competition in Europe.

Real Betis WWDLDD
Real Betis come into this match on the back of a 0-0 draw with Getafe in La Liga.
Real Betis had 65 percent of the ball at the start of the game and nine shots on goal, four of which were on target. Getafe had a total of 13 shots on goal, with just two of them finding the target.
As a consequence of their most recent results, it has become clear that the Real Betis defense is unable to accomplish much more than that. A total of four goals have been scored by Real Betis in their last six games, a record that reflects their stingy approach.
Barcelona WLLWLW
Barcelona will enter this match on the back of a 2-1 La Liga victory against Mallorca in their most recent match.

Memphis Depay (25′) and Sergio Busquets (54′) scored goals for Barcelona in the second half of the match. RCD Mallorca had a total of six shots on goal, with two of them going in. Mallorca’s goal came in the 79th minute via Antonio Rallo.
The numbers don’t lie, as Barcelona has conceded goals in five of their previous six games, with their opponents scoring a total of eight goals in that span. Barcelona have been far from flawless on the defensive end of the field.

Real Betis: (Martín Montoya)
Barcelona: (Martin Braithwaite, Moussa Wagué, Sergiño Dest, Nico González, Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto and Pedri)
Real Betis vs Barcelona Predicted XI
Real Betis Predicted XI: Silva, Sabaly, Pezzella, González, Miranda, Rodriguez, Guardado, Canales, Fekir, Jimenez, José.
Barcelona Predicted XI: ter Stegen, Alves, Araujo, García, Alba, De Jong, Busquets, Gavi, Torres, Aubameyang, Depay.
Prediction
Two terrific attacks and a challenge that, especially for Betis, will be decisive for the final standings. The Andalusians must win at all costs, and they will do so by trying to unleash their attacking phase, but this will leave a lot of space for Barcelona, who, especially away from home, is a real goal machine.
With these premises, we think that the challenge can end with at least three goals.
Manchester City challenges Newcastle to forget the Bernabeu night and their daring exit from the Champions League. Guardiola needs to turn the page quickly after the blow on Wednesday night, and the only way he can do so is to keep winning in the Premier League, where he currently leads Liverpool by a single point. The duel continues and the citizens for the next challenge are clearly the favorites, not only for the better quality of the team but for a question of motivation.
If it is true in fact that the hosts cannot make mistakes, it is equally true that Newcastle have already achieved their goal by conquering a salvation well in advance that until December seemed impossible. The two teams are in great shape, both having won four of their last five games, with the Magpies only surrendering to Liverpool in the last round of the league by just 1-0.

Newcastle United Predicted XI: Dúbravka, Schär, Burn, Krafth, Targett, Shelvey, Almirón, Saint-Maximin, Willock, Guimarães, Joelinton
Prediction
The match between Manchester City and Newcastle will end with at least one team without goals. In fact, it is difficult to think that the Magpies will be able to put the ball into the goal against the hermetic defense of the hosts. The technical gap between the two teams is huge, and the Guardiola guys must immediately eliminate the dross of the comeback suffered against Real Madrid. This means that they will not want to make a mistake and probably will send an opponent who has even less motivation.
According to our predictions, after the final whistle, Manchester City will have earned a convincing 3-0 victory.
After winning the Liga and reaching the Champions League final, Real Madrid will face Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano derby.Los Blancos are probably not interested, and this could give a small advantage to the colchoneros, holder of the title that must be watched by Real Betis, 3 points behind, in the race for the fourth place that is worth the Champions next season.
As mentioned, Real won the title last week by beating Espanyol 4-0 at home and again at the Bernabeu, then went head-to-head with Manchester City in the Champions League, overtaking Pep Guardiola’s team 3-1 in extra time. Atletico, on the other hand, lost to Bilbao 2-0 in the last round, but at home, in the league, they have won 4 matches followed by a draw in the last 5 games.
