According to the bookmakers, the "green and whites" are favorites for the three points, but Espanyol has its chances. The "parrots" need a victory to shorten the distance to the rescue shore.
Currently, the Catalan team is in last place, with an asset of 24 points. Until they get out of the danger zone, they are separated by 5 points, which have a place to catch up in the remaining 8 rounds.
Benito Villamarin is not one of the most hospitable stadiums, but the lack of fans affects the home advantage. In the previous match at home Betis recorded a hiccup against Granada and remained in 14th position.
Earlier this week, Betis' management fired coach Ruby after the team recorded a series of unsatisfactory results. Alexis Trujillo, who is considered one of the club's greatest legends, has been appointed coach.
The good news in the host camp is related to the lack of staffing problems. All players are on the line, which will bring additional motivation before the match.
The injured Sebastian Corsia dropped out of Espanyol's group, as did the punished Leandro Cabrera and Bernardo Espinosa.
Betis should win, winged by his new coach. For more security, I will bet on a double chance 1X, combined with less than 3.5 goals. Both teams need points, which often leads to low performance.
Prediction: 1X + Under 3.5 goals @ 1.68 Winbet
