Real Betis will be hoping to continue their fine start to the La Liga season this weekend, as they look to stretch their unbeaten run to four matches. Alaves will have home field advantage as they bid to end a four-game winless run.
La Liga Preview
The main aim this term for Real Betis remains a finish in the European spots. They have made a pleasing enough start to the campaign this season, as they currently sit seventh in the standings after winning three of their opening eight matches. Over that period, they have also lost just twice, and they have scored an impressive ten goals.
Betis come into this match in decent recent form, as they have gone three without a defeat. However, they have recorded just one victory over that period. The visitors were excellent in their most recent match, as they landed a 3-0 victory over Valencia. However, they haven’t won back-to-back matches in the competition since May 2022.
Alaves will likely have the greater need to pick up points this weekend, as they sit just above the relegation places after eight rounds of matches. The Spanish side have won two of their opening eight matches, but they have suffered a joint league-high of five defeats already this term. They also rank among the lowest-scorers in the league after netting just six times this term.
Something will need to change for Alaves this weekend, as they have gone four without a victory. They have also lost each of their last two home matches in the competition. But, Alaves haven’t lost three at home on the bounce without scoring since January 2006. However, they have failed to score in five of their eight matches in the competition this term.
Alaves vs Real Betis Head to Head
The hosts come into this match having lost each of their last four against Real Betis in the league. This is their longest winless streak against Betis in the club’s history. Meanwhile, Betis have landed victories on each of their previous two visits to Alaves in the Spanish top flight.
Alaves vs Real Betis Prediction
Betis produced their best performance of the season so far last weekend to land a 3-0 win over Valencia. If they are at that same level of performance once again this weekend, then they will make extremely light work of Alaves on the road.
