Real Betis Preview – Great entertainers if not always great winners?

Producing another limp display in an away fixture last Thursday after losing 2-0 to neighbours Sevilla in what was the first encounter in La Liga since the first week of March, Real Betis (13th – W8 D9 L11) should appreciate this rather brisk switch to home comforts when they welcome Granada to the Benito Villamarin stadium. Not that this has necessarily been a favourite fixture of theirs through the years.

On the six previous occasions Real Betis have hosted Granada in La Liga since 2010, only twice (W2 D2 L2) did Los Verdiblancos prevail. They will also be keen to avenge October’s 1-0 loss in the reverse fixture, which should be very achievable when taking into consideration how strong their record at home this season has been – winning precisely half of fourteen (W7 D3 L4) said matches thus far.

Goals are almost always guaranteed at Benito Villamarin meanwhile, with a staggering 93% (so, all but one of 14 home fixtures) returning both teams to score. Yet their form on the whole has been on the decline for a while now, with one win – a terrific 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at home – accrued from the last eight (W1 D3 L4). It leaves them a little more work to do to confirm next season’s La Liga participation.

Granada Preview – Can El Grana make it six unbeaten?

European qualification remains a distinct possibility for Granada (8th – W12 D5 L11) after delivering a winning performance at home to Getafe on Friday, coming from a goal down to secure three vital points on their return to action thanks to a strong second half showing at Nuevo Los Carmenes. A third win in five La Liga games for Diego Martinez and his players, who are now unbeaten since a 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid in February (W3 D2).

An excellent league campaign from the club who were promoted out of the Segunda Division at the end of last season. Topping the standings in October, after six wins through the first ten rounds of fixtures, was undoubtedly a highlight but their recent upturn in results is also worthy of praise, bouncing back from a mid-season slump to effectively stave off any lingering doubts regarding safety.

Confidence will understandably be high. Even more so after the impressive manner in which they overturned Friday’s contest with a tricky opponent around. However, caution is advised when backing Granada in their remaining away fixtures. Just the three wins were registered across their fourteen away matches so far (W3 D3 L8), and between October and February lost eight straight without so much as scoring.

Real Betis Vs Granada Betting Advice

The hosts could sure do with a lift after Friday’s insipid performance at neighbouring Sevilla. Having beaten Real Madrid in their last home encounter, Real Betis have every right to believe they can atone at home to a poor travelling Granada side which has lost eight of its last eleven away matches in La Liga. The visitors arrive in by far the better form though.

 

Real Betis Vs Granada – Key Facts

  • A 2-0 defeat away to Sevilla on Thursday compounded Real Betis‘ poor form having now won only once in eight games (W1 D3 L4) in La Liga.
  • Victory over Getafe on Friday extended Granada‘s unbeaten league run to five games (W3 D2).
  • A 2-2 draw ensued the last time these sides met in Betis, where Granada have tasted defeat on only two of six previous La Liga visits (W2 D2 L2).

 

A slender 1-0 scoreline in favour of Granada was how this season’s previous meeting went down. Granada’s improved form – unbeaten in five and scoring four goals combined in last two away outings – could lead to a more livelier affair at Benito Villmarin, where goals have regularly been served up throughout the season with Over 2.5 Goals returning 86% of the time.
