The key matchup here will be how Betis’ midfield, particularly Guido Rodríguez, handles the relentless pressing of Athletic Club's engine room. Betis has been a bit wobbly lately, with only two wins in their last eight league games, including that dispiriting 4-2 loss to Atlético Madrid where they gave up two late goals. Athletic, meanwhile, has been quietly grinding, unbeaten in four of their last five, and Nico Williams is absolutely flying right now. This is a tough road trip for Betis.
Athletic Club 1, Real Betis 0.
