Real Betis - Deportivo Alavés predictions

Real Betis might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Deportivo Alavés are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The matchup this Friday is rather one-sided, with Alaves seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.58, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Most of us can agree that Betis didn’t give their best in the previous round against Elche . The first half went quite well for them, but a lack of decisiveness saw them fumble the lead. They had to settle for a 1:1 draw in that particular away game.

Deportivo Alaves had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.93 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a : draw.

Although Los Verdiblancos are marked as the clear favourites in this matchup, things didn’t go well against Deportivo Alaves last season. They lost a game with a considerable goal difference, so their supporters are hoping that they’ll manage to avoid such mishaps this Friday.

Friday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

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 Pncl priced at 1.75 odds.
