Girona vs Real Betis
Wolfgang Shotten; Spanish Football Expert at BettingTips4You
Both teams to score
| |
13/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning In the heated context of the Coppa Italia semi-final, both Inter and Milan are prone to concede but carry enough attacking firepower to ensure goals on both sides. With Lautaro and Abraham in form, and shaky defending evident, expect the net to ripple at least once for each side. |
Key Stats:
- Girona are winless in their last 9 La Liga fixtures.
- Betis have scored in 12 consecutive league matches.
- The visitors are unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 away league outings.
Rationale
Monday’s La Liga encounter at Montilivi pits a fading Girona against a resurgent Real Betis. The hosts have not picked up a win in their last nine league outings and now find themselves just four points clear of the relegation zone. A worrying sequence of results—marked by poor defending and a lack of cutting edge—has seen them slump from top-half hopefuls to survival candidates. Three straight defeats have been followed by another trio of losses, most recently a 2-1 reverse away at Osasuna.
Girona’s vulnerability has been most apparent at the back, and they will be without key defenders once again. Injuries to Gutierrez and Gil have disrupted Michel’s setup, and their form against the top half has been especially dismal, with just one win in nine against teams currently above them in the table.
In contrast, Betis arrive fresh from reaching their first-ever European semi-final. After securing a 3-1 aggregate win over Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Conference League, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are riding a wave of momentum. They’ve scored in 12 straight league games and sit just three points behind fifth-placed Villarreal. Despite a narrow defeat last weekend, they’ve been a reliable attacking force—led by in-form players like Isco, Cedric Bakambu, and Antony.
With Girona crumbling under pressure and Betis motivated by a Champions League push, this match has all the hallmarks of an away win—especially with Girona’s track record in this fixture being so poor. Betis have won three of their last five away league matches and are unbeaten in three of their last four on the road. They’ve got the creativity, cohesion, and confidence to capitalise.
