Spanish La Liga is back! On Thursday night, a game between two TOP6 teams is going to happen as Real Betis will host Athletic Bilbao. After 14 games played, both teams have 7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses but Real Betis in the standings is at the 6th position while Athletic is in 4th place. In this game, I'm predicting that Real Betis won't lose this game.

Real Betis has been one of the best La Liga teams this season. Before the break, Real Betis lost to Valencia on the road (0:3) and that was their biggest loss of the season. At the same time, the team has been playing very well at home as they have 5 wins and 1 draw with a total of 16 points in 7 home games and that is the 4th best result in the league. Real Betis has conceded only 5 times at home and that is the 3rd best result among all La Liga teams. Per xGA, Real Betis is expected to allow 1.45 goals at home.

Athletic is also playing well at home but results on the road have been different. Bilbao has played 6 times away from home, they have 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with a total of 8 points and that is the 7th best result among all teams. Athletic has conceded 14 goals this season and 10 have been on the road and which is the worst result among all TOP10 teams. Bilbao is expected to allow 1.43 goals away from home this season.

Before the break, Real Betis lost only 1 out of 10 home games while Athletic lost or drew 4 out of 7 away games. In the last 5 meetings between both teams, Real Betis has won twice and 3 times the game ended with a draw. Out of the last 12 meetings in Sevilla, Real Betis have won or drawn 9 times. Both teams are very equal and it wouldn't be a surprise if the game would end with another draw.

西甲又回来了!周四晚上，两支排名前六的球队将进行一场比赛，皇家贝蒂斯将主场迎战毕尔巴鄂竞技。经过14场比赛，两支球队都取得了7胜3平4负的成绩，但皇家贝蒂斯在积分榜上排名第6，而竞技排名第4。在这场比赛中，我预测皇家贝蒂斯不会输。

皇家贝蒂斯是本赛季西甲最好的球队之一。中场休息前，皇家贝蒂斯在客场负于瓦伦西亚(0:3)，这是他们本赛季最大的失利。与此同时，球队在主场表现非常好，他们在7个主场比赛中取得了5胜1平的成绩，积16分，这是联赛第4好的成绩。皇家贝蒂斯在主场只丢了5次球，这在所有西甲球队中排名第三。根据xGA，皇家贝蒂斯预计在主场失球1.45个。

Athletic在主场也踢得不错，但是在客场的结果却不一样。毕尔巴鄂有6次客场比赛，他们取得了2胜2平2负的成绩，积8分，在所有球队中排名第七。竞技本赛季丢了14个球，其中10个在客场，这是所有TOP10球队中最差的成绩。毕尔巴鄂本赛季的客场失球预计为1.43球。

在中场休息之前，皇家贝蒂斯在10场主场比赛中只输掉了1场，而竞技在7场客场比赛中输掉或逼平了4场。在两队近5次交锋中，皇家贝蒂斯取得了2次胜利，其中3次以平局告终。在最近12次与塞维利亚的交手中，皇家贝蒂斯取得了9次胜利或平局。两队势均力敌，如果比赛以平局告终也不足为奇。
