Real Betis vs Alaves

Real Betis are seeking their first win of the season and host Alaves in a Friday night Spanish La Liga fixture.

The visitors are looking to build on a win on the opening weekend, but are generally poor on their travels. The hosts will be keen to put on a show for the home fans and should claim the upper hand here.

Real Betis News

Real Betis are coming off a 1-1 draw at Elche in their opening fixture of the season. They struck in the first half through Aitor Ruibal but failed to build on that lead and were punished with an equaliser late in the contest.

While manager Manuel Pellegrini would have preferred a win, he will take the positives from that result as they head into their first home game of the season. Real Betis are generally solid in front of their fans and are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions, earning five wins on this run.

Real Betis often make fast starts and have scored first in five of their last eight matches across all competitions. However, three of their last four matches have produced more goals after the break.

Alaves News

Alaves were victorious in their opening fixture, picking up a 2-1 home win over Levante. Toni Martinez’s first half effort was cancelled out by the visitors before Nahuel Tenaglia struck the winner deep into injury time.

Manager Eduardo Coudet will be pleased to have claimed that result, having been winless in their final three preseason games. However, they still need to work on their away form, having failed to win in six of their last eight La Liga matches on the road.

One similarity with the hosts is that Alaves also appear to have a knack for late showings. Five of their last seven matches across all competitions have produced more goals in the second half.

Head to Head

Real Betis have eight wins while Alaves have picked up seven victories, with six draws from 21 previous matches. However, the visitors were unbeaten last season, playing out a 0-0 home draw before earning a 3-1 away win in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Real Betis v Athletic Bilbao

Real Betis often do their best work at home and should have the upper hand over Alaves, who are winless in six of their last eight La Liga away matches. They also have a knack for fast starts, and having scored first in five of their last eight matches, a repeat could be on the cards here.

Both teams seem to get more active after the break, and Friday's clash could be backed to produce more goals in the second half.
