Real Betis - Deportivo Alavés predictions

The online bookies marked Real Betis as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Deportivo Alavés winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Alaves appear severely unprepared for a clash with Los Verdiblancos, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.96 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Betis are flying high on confidence following their latest away win in the La Liga. After a draw in the first half, Los Verdiblancos pushed it hard and ended up recording a pretty conclusive Cádiz win. There is no denying they will be keen to make it two on the trot this Sunday.

Alaves’s latest La Liga match ended in disappointment. A draw against Villarreal doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.29. Besides, it was a home game for them.

Real Betis will be looking to extend their current streak. They’ve recently recorded more than 7 consecutive games in which they’ve scored at least once.

Deportivo Alaves have been met with a lot of success in previous away games – at least in terms of goal-scoring. They scored 7 in their previous 3 away games, so this might be a good chance to consider an Over 4.5 Goals bet.

Real Betis may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Alaves this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Youssouf Sabaly, Guido Rodríguez, Abner, Ayoze Pérez, Bartra, Isco will have to sit this one out, while Deportivo Alaves will have to make do without Javi López, Carlos Benavidez, Nahuel Tenaglia.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.71 odds.
