Real Betis v Girona

Real Betis vs Girona Preview

The Spanish top flight action continues on Thursday night and this upcoming fixture between seventh placed Real Betis and the La Liga leaders, Girona, looks an intriguing one as Real Betis extended their unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to 12 matches with a 0-0 draw away from home at Real Sociedad, while Girona captured a third league win on the trot with a resounding 3-0 home win against Alaves, so both teams will feel they have claims to take the spoils here.

It's been a solid campaign so far for Thursday night's hosts, Real Betis, as the hosts have been handed just two defeats so far this season, both of which were inflicted upon Manuel Pellegrini's side on the road with losses incurred at Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona, but since losing 5-0 at Barcelona, Real Betis have embarked upon a useful looking 12-match unbeaten sequence in La Liga.

Real Betis have certainly made themselves a tough unit to break down and this is reflected in their results during this unbeaten run as the hosts have picked up four wins but have also been involved in no fewer than eight stalemates as well.

Each of Real Betis' four wins during this period have been registered on home soil at their Estadio Benito Villamarín but goals could be thin on the ground as 10 of Real Betis' last 12 matches have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Girona still remain top of the La Liga table and continue to defy their critics as the visitors hold a two-point cushion over second placed Real Madrid at the summit of the division and this has been helped by the fact that Girona have managed to turn potential draws into wins in the majority of their games to date this term.

14 wins within their 17 league matches played to date underlines their ability to turn a potential single point into all three and the visitors are currently enjoying something of a purple patch as Girona have won eight out of their last nine games overall in La Liga.

The visitors have slipped to just one defeats so far in this campaign which is some record considering they've already played the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid for example and although they were handed a 3-0 loss at home to Real Madrid, Girona have continued their winning momentum since then.

Michel Sanchez's side have won their last seven away games on the trot so the visitors will be brimming with confidence ahead of this trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarín on Thursday night.
