Espanyol – Betis : Preview & Prediction
Espanyol Barcelona, who have not won Betis Sevilla for almost 4 and a half years, will find it difficult to end this series because the Andalusian club is a solid 3rd!. The Catalan formation is 11th overall, 10 units behind its opponent of the day but with a big lead of 10 points in the relegation zone. However, Raul de Tomas’ teammates (11 goals) are on a bad streak with 3 defeats in their last 6 outings. Espanyol has just been knocked out of the King’s Cup by Mallorca (2-1) on the island on January 15, a few days after suffering its 8th defeat in the league against Elche (1-2). The Catalan club is in the hard since it has just shared the points in Andalusia against Cadiz (2-2) this January 18 during the last day. Betis will want to keep their place on the podium and are under pressure from Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid just 4 points behind (one game less). The Andalusian club has been undefeated for 4 games and has just won the King’s Cup in Valladolid (3-0) and ahead of Sevilla FC (2-1) on January 16. This success in the derby was confirmed by a big victory over Alaves (4-0) on Tuesday with a double from Iglésias. Fékir’s teammates are in a prosperous period where everything smiles on them.
