Spain – La Liga

Kick-Off at 20:00 UK
Venue: Estadio de Mendizorroza (Vitoria-Gazteiz).
Betting Tips & Predictions
Following the appointment of Abelardo as manager three months ago, Alaves have risen from the relegation zone to a strong mid-table position. They have lost five games since he came in, but three of those were against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
Real Betis are also in good recent form, losing just twice in their last five games. Both of those defeats came against top four sides – Valencia and Real Madrid – seeing them up to 10th in the table.
This is one of the most difficult fixtures to predict in La Liga this weekend, and could be one of the most entertaining to watch, with both sides looking in good shape.
Alaves’ home form has been particularly strong under Abelardo, unbeaten in all 10 of their games at Mendizorroza, winning nine and drawing one in all competitions. That should give them a real edge and a boost in confidence, and a home win is at 21/20.
With seven goals in their last five games Alaves are also capable of scoring goals against anyone in La Liga, as are Real Betis, who have eight in their last five games – including three against Real Madrid. This game is set for goals, and an over 2.5 total goals bet is priced at 17/20.
