Real Betis will host Deportivo Alaves this weekend in La Liga hoping to get some buffer in their quest for a top-six finish. This match will be played at the Benito Villamarin stadium on Sunday. Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, the home team is in 6th place with 38 points while the visitors are 12th with 27 points. Betis are eight points behind top-five, but with only three points separating them from ninth-placed Valencia, there’s very little room to spare. They are coming off a 2-0 win over Cadiz that made it seven points from their last three league games. There are still doubts over their ability to close out matches as Betis’ tally of 11 draws is the joint-most in La Liga this season. That’s not a big concern when playing at this venue at least, as Betis have won five of their last nine home La Liga matches drawing three and losing only once.

Alaves have built a decent ten-point gap above the relegation zone, which should ease any worries for the moment. They have their recent form to thank for that upsurge, as three wins and two draws from their last six league games helped the visitors move away from the danger zone. Still, they remain one of the low-scorers in the division with only 24 goals to their name and just four clubs scoring fewer goals this campaign. Goals don’t seem to be a problem on the road though, as they scored seven across their last three away league trips, winning seven points along the way.
