Why Bet on Real Betis?
Real Betis is a team with a lot of work at the hand of its coach, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini. However, it’s noticeable they are not going through their best moment.
On the last date, they drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad, which would be a good result in a regular context, but Betis has only won one of the last six matches, and in the Copa del Rey. In LaLiga, they have three draws in a row and, so have fallen to seventh place, without the possibility of playing in European competitions next season.
Real Betis is a team that has drawn a lot. In fact, in the Spanish tournament, there is no team with more draws than this one, as it has nine. They have won six matches and lost only twice. Meanwhile, in terms of goals scored, they do not have great numbers, as they only have 19 goals, far from the 41 of their rival, Girona. However, the squad includes Borja Iglesias and Willian José, who are two attackers to be feared.
So far, Betis have not lost at home and have won four of their last five games there. Another fact in their favor is that they have never lost to Girona in the first division.
Among the team’s injured players are Marc Bartra, Claudio Bravo, Nabil Fekir, Guido Rodriguez, and Youssouf Sabaly.
Why Bet on Girona?
Girona’s campaign seems like a fairy tale because it was a team that played well but was more linked to the lower half of the table than the position it holds today, first place in LaLiga.
This team defeated Alavés 3-0 on the last matchday, thanks to a brace by Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk, who has ten goals in the Iberian league and is the second-best scorer, only surpassed by Jude Bellingham (13). There is no other team in Spanish soccer with more points (44) and goals (41). In addition, it has an active streak of three wins in a row. In 17 matches, they have only lost once and drawn twice.
All this is due to well-structured soccer by coach Míchel, which led them to achieve another triumph in history, such as the 4-2 win over Barcelona.
It seems that the good momentum goes on for a long time with Girona, who has not lost since September 30. It has been 11 matches since that setback against Real Madrid. They can achieve something historic by reaching the halfway point of the season as leaders and symbolically crowning as winter champions.
The injured players in this team are Yangel Herrera, Jastin, Casals, Toni Villa, and Ricard Artero. But striker Cristhian Stuani will return from suspension.
