Real Betis, Recent FormReal Betis were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Alaves. During that encounter they had 62% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Manuel Pellegrini will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at The Estadio Benito Villamarín, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
On an individual basis, Francisco Isco will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Real Betis' last 6 league games.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their home outing against Girona. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Girona's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets, but they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 games away from The Estadio San Mamés this season.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Álex Berenguer will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Real Betis who ended up empty-handed, losing 4-2 to Athletic Bilbao.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio Benito Villamarín, Lehoiak have been unable to break through the Real Betis defence and find the back of the net. Los Verdiblancos have struggled for goals when Athletic comes to visit The Estadio Benito Villamarín, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, Real Betis has had a good run at home against Athletic, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at The Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Willian José has scored in each of Real Betis' last 2 league games against Athletic.
Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marc Bartra (Achilles tendon), William Carvalho (Physical discomfort), Abner da Silva Santos (Ankle), Nabil Fekir (Hamstring), Francisco Isco (Hamstring), Ayoze Pérez (Ankle) and Guido Rodríguez (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde ahead of this clash, with Ander Herrera (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Valverde a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
