Real Betis News and Form

Real Betis had a disappointing return to action as they lost against bottom side Huesca last weekend. That was big blow as they hadn’t been in bad form really. They are now W4 D1 L2 in their last seven games. During that run of seven games there was a stunning 4-3 win over Barcelona from them. So to see them go down against Huesca was a shock. Overall this season on home soil in La Liga, Betis are W4 D3 L2. On home soil they have come up with eleven league goals, conceding ten.

Just 33% of their league home games have gone over 2.5 goals. Betis have earned a clean sheet in 44% of their home games this season. They are on a four-match undefeated streak of form at home at least (W2 D2). Three of the four wins that they have recorded on home soil this season have been by a one-goal margin only. Real Betis are on an eight-match scoring streak (home and away) so have that going for them. They have scored eight of their home goals this season in the second half of matches. Real Betis have opened the scoring in six of their nine home fixtures.
