Real Betis form and stats

Overall La Liga stats at home this season for Real Betis are 6-2-4 (wins-draw-losses).

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Joel Robles Blazquez not having conceded a league goal in 205 minutes.

Happy days for Betis in their previous game, a La Liga match away at Cádiz (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Betis had a home game versus Getafe which ended with a victory 1-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Pellegrini Ripamonti when Juanmi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Real Betis's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won one match, drawn two and lost one.

Real Betis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Betis have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Alavés's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the La Liga. Deportivo Alavés only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Deportivo Alavés as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Real Valladolid match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Deportivo Alavés have lost on their last two travels.

L. Rioja was the last player to score for the away team. Deportivo Alavés haven't scored a league goal in the last 213 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Alavés in their previous game, as they lost their La Liga-match, hosting Osasuna, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Sociedad wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Deportivo Alavés when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning one game.

The attacking power of Alavés when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Deportivo Alavés rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.
