Alaves vs Real Betis Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Alaves entertain Real Betis in a televised La Liga match this Friday. Read the match predictions to find out why a draw is the betting tip at Mendizorroza. Los Babazorros come into this match on the back of a 0-0 draw away to Eibar while Los Verdiblancos won 1-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao.
Alaves vs Real Betis Preview
Alaves have played well recently, so changes to the starting XI are unlikely. Full-backs Theo Hernandez and Kiko Femenia will need to be careful as they are both one booking away from a suspension. Edgar and Ibai Gomez have impressed on the flanks lately and will try to supply lone striker Deyverson, with Victor Camarasa running on from the hole to provide support.
Real Betis are without the injured Charly Musonda but Petros is available once again after suspension and should come back into the midfield. Antonio Sanabria will get the nod ahead of the inconsistent Victor Sanchez to partner club-legend Ruben Castro up-front.
Team Predictions Alaves vs Real Betis
Alaves 4-2-3-1 formation: Pacheco; Hernandez, Feddal, Alexis, Fermenia; Garcia, Llorente; Gomez, Camarasa, Mendez; Deyverson
Real Betis 3-5-2 formation: Adan; Bruno, Pezzella, Mandi; Durmisi, Ceballos, Donk, Petros, Piccini; Sanabria, Castro

Alaves vs Real Betis Prediction
Alaves have put some distance between themselves and the drop zone on the back of a good run of results. Back-to-back away wins at Osasuna and Villarreal were followed by a 1-1 draw at home to las Palmas before the bore draw at Eibar last time out.
Real Betis are level on points with the hosts and come into this unbeaten in 3 matches. Having edged Deportivo la Coruna 1-0 in the Copa del Rey, they were then involved in a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Celta Vigo. The win over Athletic Bilbao is a big confidence boost but this side has been poor on the road.
Alaves have won just a single game from seven at home this season and that was way back in September. Real Betis have lost four of their last five La Liga games away from home. Generally speaking, these sides haven’t been involved in many high-scoring games, so I’m predicting it will be honours even in a cagey draw.
