Almeria vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Tips | December 3rd 2023
Real Betis return to action in La Liga when they journey to the Estadio del Mediterráneo to take on Almeria on Sunday.
Gaizka Garitano’s men are yet to taste victory in the league this season and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor record.
Almeria failed to stop the rot as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez last Saturday.
Garitano’s side have now failed to win any of their 14 La Liga matches this season, losing 11 and claiming three draws so far.
While Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings, they have reached the second round of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Talavera on October 31.
Elsewhere, Real Betis failed to seal their spot in the knockout stages of the Europa League as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Prior to that, Manuel Pellegrini’s men were on a 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming eight wins and five draws since September.
Real Betis now turn their attention to La Liga, where they have picked up four wins and five draws in their last nine matches and currently sit seventh in the table with 24 points from 14 matches.
