Betis Almeria prediction 2024-05-12

Betis vs Almeria prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-05-11 19:00.
[p]It’s proven to be a campaign that has witnessed Real Betis struggle to ever get going on all fronts. An underwhelming UEFA Europa Conference League knockout round play-off defeat to Dinamo Zagreb and Round of 32 Copa del Rey loss to Alavés leaves just the final games of their 2023/24 La Liga campaign to be played. Currently on a four-match unbeaten run (W3, D1) in this competition and starting the round in seventh place, they could still earn European qualification.[/p]

[p]A straightforward 2-0 success away to Osasuna last round was the latest positive result for Manuel Pellegrini’s side, as they now turn their attentions towards gaining another three points against Almería. The omens look good for the hosts to achieve just that after winning three of the last four home La Liga H2Hs (L1), whilst Betis remain unbeaten across each of their last eight top-flight Andalusian derbies (W2, D6). To keep them motivated, another success would see them pass Real Sociedad into sixth spot for at least one day.  [/p]

[p]With just two wins to their name through 34 La Liga matches this term (D11, L21), visiting AlmerĂ­a have already been relegated and thus arrive in Seville with nothing but pride to play for. One of those victories came during their last outing, a 1-0 success over Rayo Vallecano, so at least the away side may have found a little confidence as they look to record successive La Liga away wins for the first time since January 2015.[/p]

[p]Thanks to that recent victory, Almería entered this round as one of only two sides in Spain’s top flight to have won more points on the road than on home soil this term, alongside Villarreal. Despite that, grabbing another three points here remains unlikely as the Rojiblancos have conceded 34 goals on their travels, the second-most in the division. [/p]

[p]Players to watch: Betis’ Willian José has struck ten La Liga goals this term, with six of those acting as match openers. Almería’s Luis Suárez will try to upstage him after scoring two goals across his last three personal H2Hs. [/p]

[p]Hot stat: 21 of AlmerĂ­a’s 34 La Liga matches this term have seen both sides score – the second-highest tally in the competition.[/p]
