================================================== ========
Betis had signed Alberto Rivera (Levante), Miguel Ángel (Málaga), Xisco (Valencia), Nano (Getafe0, Juanlu (Numancia) and loaned Oscar López (Barcelona). They had also purchased Brazilian Edu from Celta Vigo who was on loan last season and had played very well. Betis had also managed to keep their best player Joaqu*n.
Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira will be back after missing the midweek Champions League qualifiers. He scored 20 over goals in his first season at the club last term.A contract dispute with the club has also been sorted out so he will be all geared up for this match.
Betis probable lineup :
Doblas; Melli, Juanito, Rivas, Luis Fernández; Joaqu*n, Assuncao, Rivera, Fernando; Edu, Oliveira
================================================== ========
The Super Cup will be played over 2 legs, with the 1st at Betis homeground. Betis was 4th last season with the 4th best home form 12-5-2 F36 A22. One of the home lost was their 1st home game. They also had not lost any of their Cup games at home last season.
This is Barcelona 1st Super Cup since the late 90s when they lost the Cup 3 in a row. Barcelona had the best away form last season with 11-5-3 F33 A17. However they had not won Betis at their home for the last 4 seasons, losing 3 and drawing 1.
This won't be an easy match for Barcelona as Betis are also very strong. Betis is at home and yet Barcelona is make the favourite despite their poor showing at Betis home. Barcelona had also their last 3 Super Cups in a row. Recommend to :icon_up:
bet Betis +1/4 win 2.04 with Pointbet :icon_up: .
