Match preview

Will Real Betis’ winning run continue?

Last weekend, an early strike from Juanmi followed by a Sergio Canales penalty saw Béticos down Real Valladolid 2-1 at Estadio Benito Villamarín.

That made it back-to-back wins for Manuel Pellegrini’s team, who’d only won two of their eight league outings beforehand.

So, los Verdiblancos are back up to fifth, seeking to go within just one point of Atlético Madrid with a victory in this Friday night fixture.

Elche meanwhile are still in single figures, with their first, and so far only, victory of the season coming against Villarreal earlier this month.

Since then, los Franjiverdes have been hammered by Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, before last weekend’s last-gasp 1-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol.

Thus, Real Betis really should leave Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero with all three points.
