Tip and bets
Guests are still having a slight chance to break into European competitions zone, but in their current condition and with many players unavailable they are unlikely to succeed in that fixture. Seville outfit will most likely break a string of draws and beat Granada.
But we won't expect an easy victory, both sides will most likely show a good performance.
Our prediction - Betis to win.
Opponents usually create many goal-scoring chances and we expect more of the same today. We will see a worst defense of La Liga, which will most likely affect the result.
Our second bet - total over 2,5 goals.
