Real Betis vs Girona Predictions

Betis to prove too strong

Real Betis should be backed to get the better of Girona at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Sunday. The league table shows these sides’ contrasting fortunes, with Real Betis possessing a clear edge in the standings.

Real Betis are fifth in the league table, 13 places and ten points above Girona. The hosts have won five, drawn five and lost two of their 12 games this season, while the visitors have two wins, four draws and six defeats.

The visitors have been vulnerable defensively of late. No team has a worse defensive record in the Primera Liga than Girona this season, with 24 goals conceded in 12 games. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 16 matches.

Real Betis have enjoyed success in four of their last six home games in the Primera Liga.

The visitors’ form on the road is a concern. Girona have not won any of their last six Primera Liga away games, losing four of the last six.

The goals have been flowing for Real Betis this season. They have scored an average of 1.86 goals a game in their seven Primera Liga games against bottom-half teams, netting an impressive 2.67 goals a game in their three home matches against the same opponents.

Real Betis may be able to edge out Girona in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. The visitors are on a losing run of two straight Primera Liga away games and have suffered two 2-1 defeats in succession on the road.
