Real Betis will face Athletic Bilbao in the ongoing season of the La Liga 2021-22 on Sunday, March 13, 2022. The match starts at 8:45 PM IST at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Real Betis are currently struggling and are currently going through a very poor run of form. They have played well but have lost momentum at the business end of the season.
They have not been able to secure a win in their last 5-games across all competitions despite playing good football. They’re on the 5th spot in the league table.
They lost midweek against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-1 scoreline at home. They were completely outplayed by the Germans in their Round of 16 encounter.
They were hammered 3-1 by Atletico in their previous league fixture last week. They have lost 2 back to back games at home in a week’s time and will look to avoid a third one tonight.
Athletic Bilbao have performed decently this season and found their feet back after a 3-1 win against Levante at home. Bilbao occupy the 8th spot in the league and are six points behind rivals Betis. Bilbao can take advantage of Betis’s current form and can close in on the 5th spot with a win on Sunday.
Athletic Bilbao have registered 12 wins in the last 16 games against Betis and clearly hold an upper hand in this tie. When the two teams last met in the league, Bilbao edged past Betis 3-2 in a nerve wrecking encounter. Fans of both the teams can expect goals at both ends and this promises to be a thrilling match.
