📏 Form Guide

Alaves LLLDWL

Alaves will be hoping to bounce back here following a 0-5 La Liga defeat last time out to Barcelona.

For their opponents, FC Barcelona had 16 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. Ansu Fati (24'), Lionel Messi (34', 75'), Luis Suárez (44') and Nélson Semedo (57') scored for Barcelona.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Alaves haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Babazorros have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 11 goals during that time. In any event, time will tell whether that trend might be maintained in this game or not.

ℹ️ Team News: Alaves

Alaves manager Pablo Machín will be thankful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this game with a completely healthy squad to pick from.

It seems likely that Babazorros could use the 3-1-4-2 system with Fernando Pacheco, Ruben Duarte, Victor Laguardia, Rodrigo Ely, Tomas Pina, Luis Rioja, Rodrigo Andres Battaglia, Pons Riera Pere, Édgar Méndez, Lucas Pérez Martínez and Joselu.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Betis

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Wilfrid Kaptoum (Muscle Injury), Dani Martín (Sprained ankle) and Víctor Camarasa (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Béticos seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Claudio Bravo, Emerson Aparecido, Aissa Mandi, Marc Bartra, Alex Moreno, William Carvalho, Guido Rodriguez, Nabil Fekir, Sergio Canales, Joaquin and Borja Iglesias.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Real Betis and Alaves could both find goals hard to come by here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of this game.
