Our Predictions
Betis, motivated after a tough loss earlier, has the home advantage and offensive talent to secure a narrow win. Both teams often find the net in these clashes, and over 2.5 goals seems realistic given recent scoring patterns. Odds favor a Betis win around 1.83, making this a high-confidence pick.
Past encounters show these teams can produce both goals, and a tight draw with goals is very plausible. Odds of 3.40 for a draw reflect a balanced match with scoring opportunities, adding a sprinkle of risk and reward.
Alaves has shown resilience on the road and has a recent win under their belt. While they’re underdogs, their attacking potential and Betis’s defensive frailties make them capable of pulling off an upset, especially if both sides get on the scoresheet and the game turns open.
