Betis – Las Palmas

Las Palmas will face a desperate Real Betis team, when the visitors travel to Sevilla for this La Liga 12th round opener.

Betis is on the 14th place in Primera Division, 2 points above the relegation zone. That might not seem too bad, but Betis is in horrible form, losing 4 of the last 5 matches and scoring just 3 goals in the process. Offense has been a problem for Betis all season, they have scored just 11 times in 11 matches and what’s worse, the defense isn`t good enough to erase the offensive struggles. Betis has the 4th worst goal difference in the league.

Las Palmas is one of the surprise packages of this La Liga season, sitting on the 9th place in the table and playing a brand of entertaining football. Las Palmas has scored in 10 of the 11 rounds elapsed so far and that has been enough to propel them in the top half of the table, even if they don`t defend at the same level. The visitors won 1-0 against Eibar last round, but it was their first win in 7 matches. Also, Las Palmas lost 3 of 5 away matches this season, so it won`t be an easy travel against a desperate Betis.

Team news & lineups:

Both teams are close to full strength. Betis misses Cejudo, while Las Palmas misses Artiles.

Real Betis: Adan – Piccini, Mandi, Pezzella, Durmisi – Petros, Martin, Ceballos – Joaquin, Sanabria, Castro

Las Palmas: Lizoain – Macedo, Garcia, Bigas, Castellano – Viera, Mesa, Gomez – Tana, Araujo, Boateng

I believe both teams will find the net in this match. Betis has a goal difference of 11-22 in 11 rounds, while Las Palmas has a goal difference of 21-18 in 11 rounds.

Expectations are that Las Palmas will score in this game. They are looking good up front, averaging almost 2 goals per game and have failed to score just once in this entire season. They found the net against the likes of Real Madrid, Villarreal or Sevilla. Meanwhile, Betis concedes an average of exactly 2 goals per game.

In my eyes, the bigger question is if Betis will be able to score, as their offense is simply not working. However, they are desperate and play at home, while Las Palmas hasn`t been particularly impressive on the road. I believe Betis has what it takes to get on the scoresheet.

My tip is both teams to score. Prediction: Real Betis – Las Palmas 1-1.
