Alaves vs Betis Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

Deportivo Alaves have not won for 5 successive matches in La Liga for a record of 4 defeats including 2 in a row against Villarreal 3-1 and against Atlético Madrid last weekend 1-0. In the standings, the Basque team now finds itself in danger by being 18th with 19 points. The only ray of sunshine comes from the Copa del Rey, since the local team qualified for the quarter-finals following their success over Rayo Vallecano in the 1/8th final 2-0. Slapped by Real Madrid at the beginning of January 5-1, Bétis failed to get back on track against Real Oviedo 1-1 but it finally reassured itself last week by winning its round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Elche 2-1 and its championship match against Villarreal, in a shock at the top of the table 2-0.

Still in 6th place, the Verdiblancos have moved closer to Espanyol Barcelona in the race for the top 5 Europa League. During the week, Manuel Pellegrini's men traveled to Greece to challenge PAOK Salonika on the penultimate day of the Europa League, with the result to come. 

Still suspended by FIFA, defender Garces will not play today, while certain players are being pushed out like Mariano Diaz, Nikola Maras and Moussa Diarra. Authors of 4 goals each in La Liga, Lucas Boyé and Carlos Vicente will be operational like Toni Martinez (3 goals in La Liga) and the former Barcelona players C. Alela and D. Suarez. For its part, Betis Sevilla is still forced to evolve without the injured Isco, Junior Firpo, Hector Bellerin and the leading striker Cucho Hernandez (8 goals, 3 assists in La Liga). The Moroccans Ezzalzouli and S.Amrabat will likely return to the competition.

Against Villarreal, it was Aitor Ruibal and Pablo Fornals (ex-West Ham) who made the decision by each scoring their own small goal. Winger Antony (5 goals, 4 assists in La Liga) is also important in Mr. Pellegrini's system. The probable line-ups for Deportivo Alaves - Bétis Sevilla: Deportivo Alaves: Sivera - Castro, Tenaglia, Pacheco, Parada - Blanco, Ibanez - Vicente, Guridi, Alena - Boyé. Bétis Sevilla: Valles - Ruibal, Batra, Natan, Gomez - Fornals, Roca - Antony, Lo Celso, Ezzalzouli - Bakambu.
