Almeria vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Tips | 11th February 2023
Real Betis will be fighting to avoid a third La Liga defeat in a row when they take on Almeria at the Municipal Stadium of the Mediterranean Games on Saturday.
Los Verdiblancos are coming into the game on the back of consecutive losses to Barcelona and Celta Vigo, and much to their dismay, both came on home turf.
Manuel Pellegrini's side were beaten 2-1 by the Catalans at the start of the month, followed by a 4-3 defeat to Celta Vigo just days later in a rollicking encounter.
This has seen them drop down to seventh in the league standings with 31 points from 20 games, but their next opponents are in a much worse position.
Back in the top flight for the first time since the 2014-15 season, Almeria are struggling to adjust to life, winning only six times so far and collecting 22 points.
