Espanyon VS Real Betis

Although Real Betis' performance is not very regular, they are now the third team in the table with 37 points. Espanyol ranks 11th on the table. So the Espanyol team cannot be considered weak. Real Betis also drew the previous match with Espanyol 2-2. Moreover, it is Espanyol's home match. Winning this match will definitely be challenging for Real Betis. What is your prediction about this match?

For me the favorite in this match is Betis. They got an amazing team this season and are in the top of the league. They drew last time so im thinking Betis wont risk much and will go for a win in this match for sure. We can expect probobly both teams to score in this match.

Real Betis got 1 win in the last 4 matches.  They also took him against Alaves.  Before that, they drew 1-1 with Vallecano.  They lost 3-2 to Athletic Bilbao and 2-0 to Celta. They showed a similar performance in Espanyol.  I think the match will end in a draw.  Although Real Betis looks strong, they may not be able to gain the upper hand. Both teams are trying to improve their score.  Whichever team will win, 3 points will be very good.

Yes, that's common, when a mediocre team plays against a top team, the mediocre team will only play defensively and there's nothing wrong with that. But if Madrid really put the starting eleven as a main player then I believe, even though Elche played defensively it was still not strong enough to withstand Madrid's attacks. This does depend on the tournament as well but at least it's not surprising that when they enter extra time, they will change their gameplay to be more open. By the way congrats to Madrid too, they have qualified for the quarter-finals.

Elche almost succeeded to bring Real Madrid to penalty shot but they were beaten by super late goal from Eden Hazard who joined from the bench for substitute players. It is an important goal from Hazard. However, to be fair and honestly say about Eden Hazard's contribution in Real Madrid, he has failed so far.

He has some good moments but in general, he has many issues since his transfer from Chelsea. Unwell body fitness (a little bit overweight sometimes), too many injuries, missing too many matches. When he is able to play, his performance is not good enough at his level and his ability.

Hazard is very similar to Kaka. It is not his first season for Real Madrid and now there are rumor that Real Madrid do no longer want to keep Hazard there. If any club can pay high fee to take Hazard out of Real Madrid, I believe they will let him go.

Agree Real Betis have plus points in the match against Espanyol. We can't see much significant development from Espanyol other than losing. If Real Betis itself has been good enough so far, the Copa Del Ray shows that Betis class is still a threat to Sevilla with a thin score even though Betis' quality can still be seeded.

Same here I'm not too sure Real Betis will win although Real Betis is better by standings but their away game record is quite poor in all competitions
Real Betis' only motivation today is to stay in 3rd place to keep the difference in points with competitors to get champion league tickets.
I think this match is slow and boring less interesting to watch.

We have an Espanyol - Betis game today. Betis are definitely the team being favoured in this game but it can still be a close game. Bookmakers also think in that way as Betis have an odd around 2.4. But I still think that Betis can win this by one goal difference. Espanyol might make them difficulties most of the time but Betis would make use of a win like that. They are in a great shape and Espanyol might not be able to resist them till the end.

So far Betis will not score too many goals even though the opponent is Espanyol. We know Espanyol's weakness. It's possible that Betis can't do more movement. Apart from staying in 3rd position in the standings, it looks like Betis has no other choice. Even the difference with Atletico Madrid is only 4 points. I think if Betis are able to finish this game quickly it will still be difficult to overtake Sevilla.

I see a really tough match tomorrow. It is Atletico Madrid - Valencia. It is a candidate to be a competitive match that's for sure. Valencia are one of the durable teams and Atletico Madrid can have big difficulties in this match. As Atletico Madrid are still in a bad shape, they might draw with their opponent. Valencia resisted Sevilla really well in their last match and got a 1-1 draw. It wouldn't be a big deal for Valencia to draw with Atletico Madrid too as long as Atletico Madrid don't play with everything they have.

This season Real Betis have advanced as one of the teams that have performed well in Laliga so they deserve to occupy a position in the top 4 of the standings. Betis are much better than Espanyol based on the form and results they got in the previous 21 matches, and I think this is an important point for them to win the match vs Espanyol today. I'm sure winning isn't about guarantees, but anything that's possible for them can be judged by how well they've performed so far.

But today Real Betis are faced with a poor record in Friday's match where they have lost far more often than drawn or won. Either way, I think things can change, it's just their bad record so far. But a draw might not be a bad thing for gamblers in the Espanyol vs Real Betis match.

[Distraction]

Betis really should be able to win this match. Espanyol may not be an easy target for them as there is a ten-point gap between them in the standings now. These teams both conceded nearly the same amount of goals until now but Espanyol were so much worse when it comes to scoring. I think that Betis can take advantage of their power in attacking and scoring in this match. Maybe they wouldn't win by a big gap but I expect a win like 1-0 or 2-1. Betis are doing just fine with Pellegrini and it wouldn't be surprising to see them finishing the season in top 4 also.

If we look for the weakness of Espanyol then it can be said that they are having trouble scoring goals. Their forward's players are not very experienced. They have scored only 25 goals in 21 matches. But in the last few matches they have been able to score even if they have not won. At the same time Real Betis's defense is not strong. Both teams have a chance to score in today's match. My prediction is that maybe the match will be drawn 1-1, otherwise Real Betis will win 2-1.

It is an interesting coincidence that Real Madrid and Elche are going to play against each other one more time this time in the La Liga. It was a really great game and Real Madrid managed to advance to the next stage by defeating Elche 2-1. They did it even with 10 players which was impressive. And this time, Real Madrid would have their full lineup as usual. Elche are on a winning streak of two games maybe but they wouldn't be able to resist Real Madrid here in this game. Real Madrid would be the winner by two goals at least.

IMO, Real Betis should take advantage of this as an opportunity to add points, isn't this an opportunity for them to reduce the difference with Sevilla. Although in terms of quality Sevilla and Betis have a tendency to compete. Just need 3 points is enough, rather than nothing. Because if Real Betis didn't have any 1 point in their match against Espanyol, it would be a shame.

I also think that this is a game where Betis will win 3 points

Actually this is going to a tough match tonight as Espanyol will try their possible best take their home advantage, but according to the report of their last five games, Real betis have been in the favored part as they won two of their last five games and drew the remaining three. But with the recent momentum Espanyol are having the game might end up in a draw game of 1-1.

[izsara]

I think Real Betis is the side with a high probability of winning. Espanyol's points are 27th, and they are in 11th place. I must say that Real Betis is made up of better players. Real Betis will win this match.  It will be a big surprise if Espanyol draws or wins.

although indeed they are in the visitors team but they are quite seeded in this match.
Currently, Real Betis are quite good, although in the last few games they have lost the consistency of their game.
compared to espanyol indeed real Betis are currently very favored and i will be with them in today's bet

Well, this also crossed my mind, even if in 3rd place is Atletico Madrid it would be ideal as a proper competitor for Sevilla and Real Madrid. The existence of Atletico with Betis is more difficult than the path taken by Atlético. Now Betis is given another chance to stay away from Atletico. I really hope tomorrow against Valencia is one of those moments that Atletico Madrid will also make the most of.

Fesatmas, I will remain optimistic that Barcelona can occupy the top 4 positions this season as their best achievement this season. They have failed in all competitions for the title and most recently they also failed in the Copa del Rey which was beaten by Bibao 3-2.

Finishing the season in the top 4 is a target that Barcelona must achieve after all the failures they have experienced so far. They have improved the quality of the game but they are not too savage in goal mouth and they are also weak in defence. I'm optimistic about it, so don't ignore them so soon.

Barcelona:
Relegation from the Champions League
Relegation from the Spanish Super Cup
Relegation from the Spanish Cup
--------------we are here--------------
Relegation from the Europa League?
Relegation from top-4?

The last two options look very likely - there are many strong teams in the Europa League, and in the championship Barcelona is now fighting for 4th place with several contenders at once, one of which is Atlético. This is probably not what Xavi dreamed of when he moved to the position of head coach in Barcelona

There is one thing I understand in football, Coaching football is not as easy as people think it is, one can have a very good ambition in mind in order to bring changes in the entire team, but what you will be seeing will be different just because the team and the players are blended to such patterns. In this case of Barcelona, Xavi wouldn't f find it easy as he thinks because there are many challenges ahead that he has to tackle in order to maintain the dignity of the club. I believe Barcelona will not be relocated a d wi do better in the coming weeks
