Real Betis Form


Real Betis are sitting 7th in La Liga and within touching distance of the European positions. They have won five of their last seven matches in all competitions.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side won four straight matches before a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad. Betis were 2-0 down in the 85th minute before two late goals to Sergio Canales and Joaquin snatched a point.

Real Betis faced Real Sociedad three days later in the Copa del Rey, this time at home. Canales equalised in the 79th minute with substitute Borja Iglesias scoring twice in extra time to secure a 3-1 victory.

Real Betis’ last match was a 1-0 home win against Osasuna. Cristian Tello assisted Borja Iglesias for the winner in the 79th minute, goalkeeper Joel Robles man of the match after making some key saves.

Goalkeepers Claudio Bravo and Dani Martín are injured with Joel Robles to continue in goal.
