Real Betis form and stats

Real Betis have collected 29 points from their La Liga home games so far after 9-2-5. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Benito Villamarín.

Real Betis shared the glory with Real Sociedad in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The goalie Bravo was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.82 out of ten. Bravo topped it up with a clean sheet.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Cadiz and winning 2-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Real Betis as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Del Rey match thankfully also at home. Valencia are visiting.

A decent goal production from Betis in their home games so far, with 31 goals from 16 league matches. On the other hand, Real Betis have conceded 19 goals.
