Betis vs. Las Palmas: Match Prediction
With the arrival of forward Anthony Mateus, Betis has significantly improved their play. In addition, captain Isco has finally recovered from injuries. It's no surprise that the club won three consecutive league matches for the first time this season, defeating both Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, as well as breaking through one of the best defensive lines in La Liga – Getafe. In excellent form, Betis is likely to secure another three points and start closing in on fifth place.
On the other hand, the Canaries are in poor form. It seems they might fall into the relegation zone after this round. The team has not won away in La Liga for five matches (2 draws and 3 losses). It's also worth noting that Betis has defeated this opponent in all four of their previous home encounters in La Liga, without conceding a single goal.
My prediction – Betis with a handicap (-1)
