Real Betis vs Alaves: Preview and Predictions

Real Betis vs Alaves
Spanish La Liga
Date: Sunday, 30th April 2017
Kick off at 15:15 UK/ 16:15 CET
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Real Betis removed all doubts about securing the elite class status for the next season with back-to-back wins over Eibar and Celta de Vigo.

Deportivo Alaves have done the job much earlier because the league’s newcomers have been much more consistent throughout the season.

Real Betis

Victor Sanchez can generally be very happy with the improvements in his team’s defensive line as Real Betis seem to be much tougher to break down in the most recent period.

The team kept consecutive clean sheets in the mentioned fixtures with Eibar and Celta de Vigo, while they showed a great resistance losing only narrowly to Athletic Club on Thursday evening at San Mames Barria.

Deportivo Alaves

Alaves have been rock solid at the back since the very start of the season.

They have been on a dismal run of three consecutive losses, but Mauricio Pellegrino’s men managed to bounce back as they are undefeated in last three league outings.

Real Betis vs Alaves: Head to head

Real Betis lead the tie in head to head encounters by a single win ahead of their 14th meeting with Deportivo Alaves.

The most recent history, however, goes in Alaves’ favour as they took three wins in previous four clashes with Los Beticos.

This includes a narrow 1-0 win from mid-December last year at Estadio de Mendizorroza.

Real Betis vs Alaves: Prediction

Betis are 11/10 favourites to pick up the victory at Benito Villamarin.

We’d say that the value is with the visiting side, but realistically, the draw is the most likeable of the three outcomes.
