Real Betis vs Alaves prediction: Kike Garcia to strike as visitors claim point
Key stats
- Our Real Betis vs Alaves betting tips take into account that the visitors have drawn four of their five games under new boss Chacho Coudet in all competitions.
- 44% of the league games at the Benito Villamarin this term have ended level.
- The last three Alaves away games have all ended in score draws.
Correct score prediction: Real Betis 1-1 Alaves
This is not a convincing Real Betis side right now. While they do have key man Isco fit again, they are being wasteful in front of goal and don’t look like keeping a clean sheet.
That should offer encouragement to Alaves who were unfortunate to lose in La Liga for the first time under Coudet last weekend. The visitors look capable of getting something here.

Player to watch – Kike Garcia
The forward players on both sides have struggled to put chances away at times this season. The most convincing of the bunch has probably been Kike Garcia who has netted five league goals for Alaves, at a rate of one every 220 minutes.
Veteran scoring in the final half hour
The experienced striker has done much of his damage late in games and 60% of his league goals have come after the hour mark, with his latest strike coming in the 97th minute against Real Valladolid.
