Real Betis will be hoping to book their spot in the Europa League this weekend when they visit Girona. However, the visitors could still finish in a European spot themselves, as they are just one point behind Athletic Bilbao in the race for a Europa Conference League place.
La Liga Preview
It promises to be a fascinating final seven days in the La Liga race for European qualification. Real Betis holds all the cards in the battle for the final Europa League spot, as they sit six clear of Bilbao with two rounds remaining. However, the fact that Bilbao still has the advantage in the goal difference could make for a compelling final day of action if both sides claim victory this weekend.
Betis will be looking to get back on track on Sunday, as their results have flattered to deceive in recent weeks. They come into this match after going two without a win, and they suffered a first defeat in four league matches last time out. That loss was suffered at home against relegation-threatened Getafe, with the visitors claiming maximum points following their winner with 20 minutes remaining.
Bet hereGirona are still fighting for vital points themselves this season, as they remain in the battle to finish in a Europa Conference League place. They come into this fixture just a point behind Bilbao, but they could leapfrog their rivals this weekend. However, in order to do that, they must get back on track after going three league matches without a win.
Girona were held to a second draw in three matches in their previous fixture, as they could find a second goal in the closing stages against Celta Viga. Cristhian Stuani netted their equalising goal in that tie from the penalty spot with half an hour remaining on the clock.
Girona vs Real Betis Head to Head
Betis boast an excellent record in this fixture, as they have registered four straight league wins against Girona. The most recent of those was a 2-1 success in September. Girona’s last win over Betis came in the second tier back in March 2010.
Girona vs Real Betis Prediction
This is a testing game to predict this weekend, as both sides come into the fixture in stuttering form. However, a chance will be taken on Betis to respond from their midweek disappointment, and secure a place in the Europa League.
