Alaves - Betis Sevilla: Tips, prognosis & odds - 18.10.2021 - SPAIN: La Liga
Can Betis overcome the Basque Country away hurdle?
Almost three weeks ago a surprise coup against the defending champion from Madrid succeeded. In the meantime, Alaves has lost the momentum of the home win against Atletico again. Before the international break, there was a derby defeat against Basque rivals from Bilbao. For the "Babazorros" from Vitoria-Gasteiz it was the sixth defeat of the current season.

So far, the Basque representative only has three points on seven match days - Alaves still has to play a catch-up game. Only Getafe started the season worse than Deportivo Alaves. On Monday evening, the "Babazorros" round off the ninth matchday in the Spanish House of Lords with the home game against Betis Sevilla.

Will Alaves manage the 2nd surprise this season?
The home team got off to a terrible start to the season, winning only one of the first 6 league games. With these 3 points they only occupy 19th place in the table and thus the penultimate. Somewhat surprising is that they celebrated their only win this season against the then leaders Atletico Madrid. In the home game against Betis they now have the chance to convince a second time this season. The guests are clearly to be assessed more strongly, after all, they are considered a possible candidate for an international starting place. At the moment they are only missing a single point in 7th place. A victory could therefore wash them way ahead. Kick-off is on Monday at 7:00 p.m.

After their outstanding year of advancement in 2013/14, where they finished the table in 9th place, the shape curve tended to point downwards. In the past two years it was only enough to two 16th places in the league. Both times they only just barely escaped relegation to the Segunda Division. This year they are also among the relegation candidates, which is only confirmed more after the start of the season. With only 3 points they currently occupy 19th place in the table. Another defeat could even bring them back to last place.

Javier Calleja's team lost 6 out of 7 games this season. A single victory was achieved, of all places against the then championship leaders and championship favorites Atletico Madrid. On the 7th matchday they were able to beat them 1-0 at home. It was the only game this season that you could finish without conceding a goal. However, the problem is not the defensive, but the offensive. The team got only 2 hits in a total of 7 games. This is the worst attack line in the entire league. Apart from the 1-0 win against Atletico, they haven't scored in 5 games.

Betis Sevilla - will they manage to repeat the strong preseason?
With 6th place last season, the club made for an exclamation point. After 2 weak years including a relegation battle, the club was able to qualify for international business again. You can therefore take part in the UEFA Europa League this season. In the league, the goal is to achieve a similar result in order to be represented internationally again next year. Place 10 after 8th match days does not look outstanding at first glance, but they are only missing a single point in 6th place.

Alaves - Statistics & Current Form
Alaves is currently in free fall. Apart from the surprise coup against Atletico Madrid, there hasn't been much to cheer for at the "Babazorros” so far, with six defeats in the first seven match days of the current season. Before the international break, the penultimate even lost the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao.
Free soccer picks
It was a goal for Deportivo Alaves again. So far, the team of head coach Javier Calleja has only scored two goals this season, making it the weakest offensive in the Spanish House of Lords. The win against the reigning champions from Madrid was all the more surprising, especially since Atletico is known to have the most stable defense in La Liga.
Free soccer tips
One of the few bright spots in the attack department is Joselu. The 31-year-old was the most dangerous player in the ranks of Deportivo Alaves last season. Joselu scored a total of eleven goals in 2020/21 and also posted three assists. Nevertheless, head coach Calleja has so far mainly relied on Sylla at the top. Joselu, on the other hand, was only used as a joker.

The strong defense as a showpiece
So far, the club has been convincing in its games above all with a stable defense. In 8 games they conceded only 9 goals. This makes you one of the stronger defensive teams in the league. Although they only managed to stay without conceding a single goal, they only conceded more than one goal for the second time this season. However, the offensive usually fails to take advantage of the good defensive. With only 11 hits you have a balance of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

After all, they celebrated 2 of their 3 wins this season in away games. Generally only one of 4 away games was lost this season. That was on the last day of the match against Villareal. It was the first defeat after being unbeaten for 4 games in a row. However, Betis have not yet managed to go without conceding a single away game.

Will the home strength against Betis be substantiated?
At home, the Basques want to get back on the road to success after the international break. Although Betis has not been one of the Babazorros' favorite opponents in the past, it is definitely an advantage for Alaves to play Monday's game in their own stadium. Last season, the penultimate from the Basque Country took more than half of all points at the Estadio Mendizorrotza.

Compared to the previous seasons, when Alaves was able to convince with a defensive bulwark, the back team in particular wobbled in recent years. This is also the case this season, twelve times the doorbell rang in the Basque's box. Against the Betis offensive, it will probably only be a matter of time before the first goal is conceded on Monday evening.
Free soccer tips
Calleja is at least spared from any personnel worries against the Monday opponent from Andalusia. The 43-year-old can draw on unlimited resources in the home game against Betis. Although Alaves recently lost the derby against Bilbao, no major changes in the starting XI should be expected after the promising appearance against the La Liga table seventh.
Expected formation of Alaves:
Pacheco - Aguirregabiria, Navarro, Laguardia, Miazga, Duarte - Fuente, Moya, Loum, Rioja - Joselu

Betis Sevilla - stats & current form
In contrast to Monday's opponents from the Basque Country, Betis Sevilla has so far been one of the positive surprises in the Spanish House of Lords. The Andalusians got off to a strong start to the season and so far have only lost to Real Madrid and Villarreal. The latter came before the international break.

Betis missed a great opportunity to take one of the four direct starting places for the premier class. Nevertheless, due to the current point yield and the tight table constellation, there is no reason to be upset for the time being. There is already a chance to make amends on Monday evening.

Alaves has been one of the Andalusians' favorite opponents in recent years. Since April 2017, Betis have only lost one competitive game against upcoming opponents from the Basque Country. Last season, the "Verdiblancos” from Seville even prevailed against Deportivo Alaves in the round two.

Bet base forecast & Spain Alaves - Betis Sevilla Spain tip
Alaves is one of the narrow circle of potential relegation candidates this season. Although the Basques celebrated a surprising home win over Atletico Madrid three weeks ago, the result should not be overrated in view of the rest of the first half of the season. The "Babazorros" are still in a crisis of form.
Free soccer picks
Neither in the offensive nor in the defensive game, the La Liga table penultimate has so far been able to convince. Statistically speaking, Alaves is meanwhile even the weakest attacking department, with twelve goals conceded on seven match days also one of the most vulnerable lines of defense in the Spanish House of Lords.

Tip & forecast
Alaves is once again considered a relegation candidate this season. So far they have only been able to win one of 7 games. Betis remained unbeaten 4 games before the loss on the last day of the match against Villarreal. They celebrated 2 of their 3 wins this season away from home. We therefore rate the guests a little higher and recommend a double chance tip X / 2. With only 2 goals, Alaves is the worst offensive team in the league. Betis also has problems in the front third with only 11 goals in 8 games. We therefore expect a game with less than 2.5 goals.
Free soccer tips
Because there was a small upward trend in the last two competitive games of Alaves, we tend to rule out an offensive spectacle by Betis on Monday evening. Nevertheless, we see the guests from Andalusia as well as the bookmakers as favorites and therefore have no alternative to betting on Betis in the 1X2 market.

With a stake of four units at Alaves vs. Betis Sevilla, our tip on good odds is aimed at the guests. The bookmaker Unibet, tested by Wettbasis, offers the best odds for this.
