Both Real Betis and Eibar have enjoyed mixed starts to their La Liga campaigns in season 2019/20. The pair meet at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in the Spanish top-flight on Friday night, as both look to move up the table.
Real Betis saw a four-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top-flight ended last time out, as Andalusians suffered a 5-1 hammering at Villarreal. The defeat means that Betis have taken just eight points from their opening seven league outings. It also means they have won just four of their last 14 matches in La Liga.
Although Real Betis’ recent league matches have not always been high-scoring, both teams have scored in six of their last seven La Liga outings.
The home side has an inconsistent recent home record in the Spanish top-flight, as they have won three of their last five home matches. However, they have also recorded just four wins in their last 11 league outings at the Villamarin. Both teams have scored in the previous 11 home games in La Liga.
Eibar have made a similar sort of start to their La Liga campaign to the visitors, picking up eight points from their seven league matches so far.

Jose Mendilibar’s team seem to have found their feet after a poor start to their La Liga campaign. The visitors are now three games unbeaten in the Spanish top-flight, having recorded two straight wins, including recording a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo last time out.
Eibar are poor travellers and have won just once in their last 19 away games in La Liga, failing to win in their last five matches on their travels in the Spanish top-flight. Their recent away games in La Liga have been low-scoring, with six of their last eight matches.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will cancel each other out and this clash will end in a low-scoring encounter.
