Real Betis, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Real Betis players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Cádiz. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 13 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Manuel Pellegrini will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling him of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at The Estadio Benito Villamarín, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Borja Iglesias will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Real Betis.
Espanyol, Recent FormWith Athletic Bilbao sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Espanyol won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 home defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Athletic Bilbao, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 14 games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 24 of their 28 league matches this season.
Espanyol will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
José Joselu is the man of the moment at Espanyol right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Espanyol sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
In each of their last 4 away matches in the league at The Estadio Benito Villamarín, Periquitos have let in at least 1 goal.
In this away league fixture, Espanyol has not won in the last 4 times they have played Real Betis at The Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Juan Cruz (Hamstring), Nabil Fekir (Cruciate ligament) and Youssouf Sabaly (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Brian Oliván (Muscle) and Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luis García will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
