Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Alaves and Getafe, Eibar will be aiming to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Real Betis on Matchday 36. Los Armeros are determined to avoid relegation to Segunda Division, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Since Alejandro Pozo is the only absentee in Jose Luis Mendilibar’s team, home win should definitely be considered.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, aim to represent Spain in European competitions next season, but seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict that the Green-Whites are going to return to Andalusia empty-handed. Both Mandi and Fekir are back from suspension, while Martin and Montoya are likely to miss the Eibar game with injuries. In the first half of the season Eibar defeated Real Betis 2-0 at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
