Real Betis vs Granada Betting Tips – Betis to win at home?

Real Betis clash with Granada at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in La Liga on Monday night. Granada’s form away from home has been poor this campaign, so I’m backing Betis to grab the win.

Real Betis sit in 12th spot on the Spanish La Liga table. The result of the season so far came prior to the break when they beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home.

Betis’ return after the coronavirus-enforced break was less successful, though, as they were beaten 2-0 away at Sevilla.  

Despite failing to find the net at Sevilla, Betis have shown this campaign that they are capable of scoring, while defending is not their strongest attribute. Their last nine games at home have seen more than 2.5 goals.

Winger Juanmi remains absent with a foot injury while central midfielder Javi Garcia is a doubt with a calf injury. 

Granada are La Liga's surprise package this season and they currently occupy ninth place. At the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes, Granada’s form has been nothing short of incredible, but they’ve really struggled away from home. On Friday night, they downed Getafe 2-1 at home.

A 3-0 away success against Osasuna before the break in La Liga action was their only win in their last 14 away fixtures. They followed that anomaly of a result up with a goalless draw against Celta Vigo at home, before downing Athletic Club 2-1 in the Copa del Rey.

Levante were Granada’s last opponents before the break, a match they drew 1-1 on the road.

Right back Quini has been out since December and is unlikely to return until mid July. Central midfielder Angel Montoro is also not likely to be back.

Right winger Antonio Puertas will be available for selection after serving his one match suspension.

Real Betis have a 10-8 advantage over Granada with nine draws in 27 matches. Their last encounter ended in a 1-0 win for Granada at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes on 27 October 2019.

Real Betis are available at 1.95 to win, with Granada priced at 3.80. A draw is coming in at 3.50.

Over 2.5 goals will pay 2.00 and under 1.80, while in the BTTS market, Yes is available at 1.80 and No is paying 1.95.

Real Betis are the sixth highest goalscorers in La Liga this season with 38 goals, so they will be relishing the chance of taking on the Granada backline. Defensively, Betis leave a lot to be desired.

Granada are a solid, compact side for the most part, but their away form is a concern. Both sides should have opportunities to score, which makes the BTTS market very attractive.
