Real Betis, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Valencia, Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Valencia's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Pellegrini will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. He will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at The Estadio Benito Villamarín, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
On an individual basis, Juan Juanmi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Estadio Benito Villamarín having scored 6 goals in Real Betis' last 6 home games in the league.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Athletic Bilbao produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Real Valladolid. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Real Valladolid who had 8 attempts and 0 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ernesto Valverde will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Athletic Bilbao, Gorka Guruzeta will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Real Betis.
Real Betis have managed to keep a clean sheet against Los Leones in each of their previous 2 meetings at The Estadio Benito Villamarín.
In the league, Real Betis have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Athletic to The Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Joaquín Sánchez Rodríguez will be looking forward to this meeting with Athletic, the Real Betis player has found the net 3 times in the previous 3 league matches against them at The Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Víctor Camarasa (Physical discomfort), Nabil Fekir (Hamstring), Luiz Felipe (Hamstring), Juan Juanmi (Ankle) and Joaquín Sánchez Rodríguez (Calf) 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 Dani García (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Valverde a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
