Match preview

Real Betis were annihilated 5-1 by Villarreal last time out and are worth opposing against La Liga’s fairytale club Eibar.

Regularly playing their home football at the 8,000-capacity Ipurua Stadium, minnows Eibar continue to defy expectations in Spain’s top flight and should not be underestimated by the hosts.

Unbeaten in their last three games, the visitors have claimed the scalps of Sevilla and Celta Vigo recently and have the players capable of unsettling a vulnerable Betis rearguard.

Former Espanyol boss Rubi brought striker Borja Iglesias with him to Andalusia this summer and also snapped up Lyon’s midfield virtuoso Nabil Fekir.

But focus on attack has cost them at the back and their only clean sheet this season came away to an Osasuna unit who are reluctant to play on the front foot.

They have already lost to lowly Valladolid and were held by Getafe on home soil this season and were rolled over 5-2 by Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Long-term Eibar boss Jose Luis Mendilibar will be happy for his team to concede possession and hit Betis on the counter. Backing them with the draw no bet provides valuable insurance.

Eibar took four points off Real Betis in their two league meetings last season and are worth support to earn a positive result.
