Real Betis vs Utrecht predictions: Low-scoring affair
Key stats
- Fewer than three goals were scored in five of Real Betis’ last seven matches across all competitions.
- Three of Utrecht’s last four games went below the 2.5-goal line.
- Utrecht have no wins in four UEFA Europa League matches this season (D1, L3).
Correct score prediction: Real Betis 2-0 Utrecht
Although Utrecht have strung together a four-match unbeaten run, their recent results away from home do not inspire much confidence. The visitors have suffered five defeats in their last six away games across all competitions, with no wins in that stretch.
On the other hand, Real Betis are unbeaten in their last five matches. They are also undefeated in the UEFA Europa League this season, keeping clean sheets in their last three matches in this competition.
Taking everything into account, we are confident that Betis will win without conceding.

Most recent H2Hs: First skirmish
Real Betis will go toe-to-toe with Utrecht for the first time on Thursday.
Real Betis preview: Looking to extend their unbeaten run
Real Betis will still be without the services of Pau Lopez due to a foot injury. But aside from this, the hosts have a healthy squad.
After a long-term foot injury, star midfielder Isco Alarcon featured for the first time this season when Real Betis hosted Girona last Sunday. The former Real Madrid man delivered an assist from the bench and is expected to get some playing time here.
Antony has been in excellent form for Real Betis this season following his arrival on a permanent basis from Manchester United last summer, and as usual, the six-goal winger should feature in the final third of the field.
Predicted lineup: Valles (GK), Bellerin, Natan, Bartra, Firpo, Amrabat, Fornals, Lo Celso, Antony, Ezzalzouli & Hernandez.
Last five matches

Utrecht preview: Still eyeing their first win
Utrecht could remain without Niklas Vesterlund and Rafik El Arguioui due to injury doubts. However, the visitors will definitely be without first-choice goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas for this game as he's suspended after being sent off against Porto last time out.
Predicted lineup: Brouwer (GK), Horemans, Didden, Viergiver, Karouani, Engwanda, Zechiel, Rodriguez, De Wit, Blake & Haller.
