Alavés head into this match in really good form, having won four of their last five games. They are scoring goals and picking up wins, which suggests they are playing with confidence. Real Betis, on the other hand, are in a terrible run. They have lost four of their last five matches and have only managed one draw in that time, so they are clearly struggling to get results.

Looking at past meetings between these two sides, the games have often been tight and low-scoring. Several of their recent encounters ended in draws or were decided by just one goal. Given that Alavés are in great shape and Betis are on a poor run, this match looks like it should go to the home side. I expect Alavés to win.
