Can Betis find some form?
Real Betis have been extremely busy during the international break, playing a plethora of friendlies as they attempt to find some form after winning just two of their last seven La Liga outings.
Defending has been a real issue for Manuel Pellegrini’s side, who have seen both teams score in their last four home league games, while keeping just three clean sheets in their last nine matches in the division.
They have been strong at the other end though, where they have scored in nine successive La Liga fixtures, as well as all ten of their games in all competitions this season, six of which have seen both teams score.
Bilbao struggle away
Athletic Bilbao meanwhile have had a strong season so far, but away from home they have registered just two wins from six attempts, and only keeping one clean sheet – during a 4-0 demolition of Cadiz.
Both teams have scored in four of their last five La Liga outings on the road, where they have scored a dozen times, bu also conceded on 10 occasions.
Ernesto Valverde’s side a have proved tough to beat over the duration of the campaign though, losing just four games in all competitions.
I predict that both teams will score in this game, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
