Real Betis vs Las Palmas
Spanish La Liga 2016/17
Date: Friday, 18th November 2016,
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarin, Sevilla.

After the international week, Struggling Real Betis will welcome Las Palmas at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Friday night. Both teams haven’t been in good form lately but Real Betis are in a much worst form.

Real Betis are currently 14 in the La Liga table with 11 points after 11 games, they are just 2 points above Sporting Gijon in the top layer of the Relegation zone. They haven’t been lucky at home, having won just a game, drawn twice and lost twice at home this season. A win in this fixture will ensure they won’t slip into the relegation zone.

Las Palmas are a bit better than their host, they are 9th on the table with 16 points from 11 games. If they were able to convert their recent draws to victory, they will undoubtedly be among teams in top table. However a win in this fixture will pull them closer to the 6th spot.
