The visiting contingent have been impressive this season, picking up important points even against difficult oppositions. Their outstanding performances so far have been rewarded with a 13th spot on the standings, having amassed 23 points from 18 games.

Recent form and superiority in h2h encounters easily picks out Real Betis as favorites to come away with the win. They have been on a rollercoaster ride this season and Alaves are very unlikely to cause them any problems in this fixture.

However, the main question remains as to how Los Verdiblancos will deal with the away handicap this Sunday. Time will tell.

Alaves vs Real Betis Team News

Alaves had the herculean task of securing a favorable result against defending champions Barcelona at the Nou Camp on the last match-day but fell short, as expected. The players must have been scared shitless as they headed out of the Camp Nou tunnel to take on the might of Barcelona.

On the back foot from start to finish, the visitors could not seem to get the ball out of their midfield as the Blaugrana had them pegged back all through the game. For their dominance, the Catalan club registered an outstanding 4-1 victory over Babazorros to steer further away from second-placed Real Madrid.

The club's supporters can have no complaints about the defeat, given the stature of the opposition in question. Any La Liga club would struggle to grind out a result against this solid Barcelona side - Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid included.

Real Betis, on the other hand, also faced a difficult test against fourth-placed Atletico Madrid last time out. Despite showing resilience all through the game, Los Verdiblancos fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Diego Simeone's men.

For this fixture, both side's current form is likely to play a major role on which team comes out on top. Alaves are on a dreadful five-game winless run at the moment, and had lost four of these games, much to the dismay of the club's supporters.

Also, they have managed a measly four wins from their preceding 21 fixtures across all competitions and have delivered just five wins the entire season. The pressure is really mounting on head coach Asier Garitano at the club with the manager looking to steady the ship before the board takes action.

When it comes to h2h encounters, Real Betis are unbeaten against this opponent in the past three years, and at this venue, have lost just twice in the previous twenty years.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Alaves: Tomás Pina.

Betis: William Carvalho, Juanmi, Alfonso Pedraza.

Taking the above into consideration, it goes without saying that Real Betis are favorites for the win in this fixture. Not expected to be a stroll in the park for Rubi's men, they are expected to clinch maximum points against this foe on Sunday, nonetheless.

As such, Real Betis should put forth a commendable performance and backing them for the win should yield good returns.
