Real Betis
- Real Betis have won only once in their last five games (D3, L1).
- Manuel Pellegrini’s men sit in fifth place with 50 points from 33 games and a European spot is definitely the club’s ambition, but they have drawn three and lost once in their last five.
- At home, Pellegrini’s side have won seven, drawn six and lost only three in the league this season, averaging 1.69 goals scored per game and conceding 1.06.
Real Oviedo
- Real Oviedo have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five.
- Oviedo are down in 20th place on 28 points from 33 LaLiga games with survival their only aim this season.
- Their form has been poor lately, winning two of their last five, drawing one and losing two, but newcomer boss Guillermo Almada has impressed and his side are at least attacking the game with vigour.
Key Players
- Juan Hernandez is the top scorer for Betis in LaLiga with eight goals in 28 appearances.
- There are plenty of goalscorers on the field here with Abdessamad Ezzalzouli in form for Betis with three goals and three assists in the last five while Federico Vinas has bagged nine in 29 for Oviedo and four of his team’s last eight.
Betting Insights
- Betis should win at 1.62, but there are good odds to be gained from the goals markets with Over 2.5 goals at 1.94 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.88.
- Oviedo have scored 17 goals in 16 away games this term but have found life tough on the road in LaLiga, so we will take the bet on both clubs scoring in what should be an open and entertaining LaLiga encounter.
Prediction
Betis are still capable of winning 2-1 even if Oviedo score due to their quality of players and ability to keep the pace of games at their level.
