No fans are permitted tonight at Benito Villamarin Stadium in Sevilla when Betis welcomes relegation candidates Alaves. I do expect a home victory, but let's first talk about two teams.

Real Betis are having a good season and are in great form in 2021. They lost only once in 2021, winning 9 games in a total of 13 matches played in this calendar year. The team from Andalusia sits sixth-placed in La Liga standings at the moment, with a game less than 5th placed Real Sociedad. First followers are Villareal who sit behind Betis with 2 points less and for Betis, this is a great chance today to leap of the followers with three points, with a victory. Starting center-back Marc Bartra and backup center-back Victor Ruiz are out injured, but another center-back Sidnei returns to the squad. Backup right-back Martin Montoya is injured. Good news for Betis fans as starting attacking midfielder, the start of the team Nabil Fekir is recovered from a minor injury, together with starting center-forward Borja Iglesias.

Alaves are in big problems with their form recently, which threw them into the relegation battle. Right now, Alaves is the 19th placed team with 22 points, and are the modest team together with Huesca in terms of attacking power. However, the last three games ruined the confidence in the team: firstly Barcelona scored 5 in a 5-1 loss at Camp Nou, and R.Sociedad made it 4-0, but the biggest disappointment came in the most recent match when Alaves lost against Osasuna at home. The morale in the team is low and is obvious that new coach Abelardo didn't bring any new improvements to the team. The team makes a lot of defensive errors and the good attackers know to punish this easily. Alaves were for a long period a highly defensive side, similar to Getafe or Cadiz, but the new coach expressed his desire to play more offensively and it was easily punished against big sides as Socieadda and Barcelona. The same could happen again, even if there is almost a full squad available for the away coach.

It's hard to motivate players when you lose three in the row and Alaves is under huge pressure to win points, but honestly, they should look somewhere else for it, not against Betis. Betis is in good form and they proved able to break the defensive-minded side recently, both against Cadiz (1-0) and Getafe (1-0) so I feel this trend will continue. My prediction for this game is Betis to win 1-0, once again. The simple home win is enough here and is the best bet for today.

贝蒂斯欢主场对阵阿拉维斯，所有的球迷都不能进入贝尼托维拉马林球场。我希望能在主场取得胜利，但首先让我们来谈谈两支球队。

皇马贝蒂斯本赛季表现不错，2021年的状态也很好。他们在2021年只输了一场，在今年的13场比赛中赢了9场。这支来自安达卢西亚的球队目前在西甲排名第六，比排名第五的皇家社会还差一场比赛。比利亚雷亚尔排在贝蒂斯之后，比他少了2分，对贝蒂斯来说，今天是一个很好的机会，可以超越对手3分，赢得比赛。首发中后卫马克·巴特拉和替补中后卫维克托·鲁伊斯因伤缺席，但另一名中后卫西德尼回到了阵容中。右后卫马丁·蒙托亚受伤了。对贝蒂斯球迷来说，作为首发进攻中场，首发球员费基尔和首发中锋伊格莱西亚斯已经从轻伤中恢复。

阿拉维斯最近的状态有很大的问题，这让他们陷入了保级之战。现在，阿拉维斯以22分排在第19位，和韦斯卡在进攻能力上是最弱的球队。然而，最近的三场比赛摧毁了球队的信心:首先，被巴塞罗在诺坎普5-1击败，然后被皇家社会4-0击败，但最令人失望的是最近的一场比赛，阿拉维斯在主场输给奥萨苏纳。球队士气低落，很明显新教练阿维拉多没有给球队带来任何新的进步。球队在防守上犯了很多错误，优秀的攻击手知道如何利用这些错误。在很长一段时间里，阿拉维斯都是一支高度防守的球队，就像赫塔费和加的斯一样，但是新教练表达了他想要踢得更有进攻性的愿望，这在面对像社会和巴塞罗那这样的大球队时很容易被惩罚。同样的情况可能会再次发生，即使几乎所有的球员都可以上场。

当你连输三场的时候，很难去激励球员，而阿尔维斯在巨大的压力下赢得积分，但是说实话，他们应该去别的地方寻找，而不是对贝蒂斯。贝蒂斯的状态很好，他们最近证明了他们能够打破这支防守的球队，无论是对加的斯(1-0)还是对赫塔菲(1-0)，所以我觉得这种趋势还会继续下去。我预测这场比赛贝蒂斯会再一次以1-0获胜。简单的主场胜利在这里就足够了，也是今天最好的选择。
