Rayo Vallecano cannot be the favorite here.

They are in terrible form, tried changing the coach but things didn't work either. Only 5 victories in the whole season, one in the last 17 which came against Getafe who received two red cards in that game and was played in a neutral stadium.

The main problem of Rayo is the lack of goal, their strikers are in poor form and they don't have any reliable topscorer. They have scored only 23 goals so far in 28 rounds, the second worst attack of the league. At home, they have won just one game this season.

In normal circumstances they should be in the relegation zone, but were very lucky at the beginning of the season with many undeserved victories, achieved a lot of points, and now are still 4 points above relegation because the three teams in the relegation zone are not achieving many points, especially the last two.

The team is lacking quality, motivation and confidence, because their run of results is terrible and they are among the worst teams in the league if we look at the results and performances in the last months.

On the other hand, Betis is a very competitive team, adapting very well to the complications and injuries. Pellegrini is doing it very well, finding solutions to the injuries of important players like Fekir or Isco during the season. However, I see some reasons to think that they’ll improve at the end of the season.

Firstly, because are starting to recover some players from injuries. For this fixture, their best player Isco is back. Secondly, because they are out of the Europa League so will be totally focused in La Liga, without fatigue and rotations.

They are 7th at the moment, 4 points below 6th position (Conference League), which is their main target. Are coming from two consecutive defeats (Villarreal and Atletico), which is very strange for a team who has lost only 6 games in the whole season, less than Atletico de Madrid for example. Betis is a very difficult team to beat and honestly, don’t see Rayo Vallecano with the ability to do it.

Betis will have the control of the game, and have much more quality and motivation than Rayo Vallecano, who is starting to be nervous because they are playing really bad, are starting to be closer to relegation, and the team can’t find any solution.

Furthermore, Betis is unbeaten against Rayo in the last 12 games. Last victory of Rayo Vallecano against Betis was in 2015, 9 years ago.

雷约·巴列卡诺不是最受欢迎的。

他们的状态很糟糕，他们试过换教练，但也没有成功。整个赛季只有5场胜利，其中最近17场中的1场是对阵赫塔菲，赫塔菲在那场比赛中吃了两张红牌，而且是在中立的球场进行的。

雷诺的主要问题是缺乏进球，他们的前锋状态不佳，他们没有可靠的最佳射手。到目前为止，他们在28轮比赛中只进了23个球，是联赛第二差的进攻。在主场，他们本赛季只赢了一场比赛。

在正常情况下，他们应该在降级区，但在赛季开始的时候，他们非常幸运，取得了许多不应得的胜利，获得了很多积分，现在仍然比降级级高出4分，因为降级区的三支球队没有得到很多积分，尤其是最后两支球队。

这支球队缺乏质量、动力和信心，因为他们的成绩很糟糕，如果我们看看过去几个月的成绩和表现，他们是联赛中最差的球队之一。

另一方面，贝蒂斯是一支非常有竞争力的球队，他们很好地适应了伤病。佩莱格里尼在这方面做得很好，他在赛季中为费基尔和伊斯科等重要球员的伤病找到了解决办法。然而，我有理由相信他们会在赛季末取得进步。

首先，因为我们开始从伤病中恢复一些球员。在这场比赛中，他们最好的球员伊斯科回来了。其次，因为他们退出了欧联杯，所以他们将完全专注于西甲联赛，没有疲劳和轮换。

他们目前排名第7，比第6(联盟)低4分，这是他们的主要目标。我们刚刚经历了两连败(比利亚雷亚尔和马竞)，这对于一支整个赛季只输了6场的球队来说是非常奇怪的，比马竞还少。贝蒂斯是一支很难击败的球队，老实说，我不认为巴列卡诺有能力做到这一点。

贝蒂斯将控制比赛，比巴列卡诺更有实力和动力，巴列卡诺开始紧张，因为他们踢得很糟糕，开始接近降级，球队找不到任何解决办法。

此外，贝蒂斯在过去的12场比赛中对雷约保持不败。巴列卡诺上一次战胜贝蒂斯是在9年前的2015年。
