Real Betis v Granada

Real Betis vs Granada Preview

Real Betis saw their solid and stubborn 13-match unbeaten sequence in La Liga come to an end last time out when they were handed a 2-1 loss away from home at Celta Vigo but Manuel Pellegrini's side now return to the familiar surroundings of their Estadio Benito Villamarín for this upcoming clash against second from bottom placed visitors, Granada, who ended a dismal seven-match winless run in La Liga with a welcome 2-0 home win against Cadiz.

Real Betis had previously registered four wins within their preceding 13-game unbeaten run which consisted of victories gained over Valencia, Osasuna, Mallorca and Las Palmas and although the hosts were also involved in no fewer than nine stalemates within this sequence of results, Real Betis will no doubt fancy their chances of converting one point into all three when Granada come to visit on Saturday night.

Interestingly, all four of these wins for Real Betis were recorded on home soil at their Estadio Benito Villamarín where the hosts still remain unbeaten having registered five wins and four draws, thus underlining how tough Pellegrini's side have been to beat on home soil so far this season.

The wider picture shows Real Betis are unbeaten in their last 10 home games which includes collecting five wins in the process while also keeping five clean sheets within this period as well.

Despite picking up a rare three-point haul following their recent 2-0 home win against Cadiz, Granada still remain sitting in second from bottom position in the Spanish top flight table with five points separating the visitors from safety ahead of this upcoming trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarín.

Prior to that desperately needed win, Granada had previously struggled for results of any kind as the visitors had failed to win any of their preceding 15 matches in La Liga which also consisted of 10 defeats within this miserable sequence of results so the visitors still look far from a guaranteed point here on Saturday night, let alone all three!

The bigger picture further underlines how poorly Granada have performed in the domestic top flight as Alexander Medina's side have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 21 games overall, both of which were recorded on home soil at their Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes with wins against Mallorca and Cadiz.

However, Granada have also slipped to a total of 13 defeats within these previous 21 games and results away from home have been even poorer as Granada have lost nine out of their last 10 outings on the road in La Liga.

Real Betis v Granada Verdict

Real Betis have also won the last three meetings on the trot against Granada, so anything other than a home win here would be a shock.
