Match Facts:
Espanyol (9th, 40 pts)
- After putting at least a point on the board in four of their last five games, Los Pericos are looking up and seeking to keep up this consistent form with the ultimate aim of European qualification.
- Espanyol have hosted Betis on 49 occasions, coming out on top in 23 of those meetings. The other 26 encounters yielded 17 draws and nine Verdiblancos victories.
Betis (13th, 31 pts)
- The Andalusians appear comfortable enough in mid-table after beating basement boys CA Osasuna 2-0 last time out. Nevertheless, unlike their opponents this matchday, they have struggled for consistency recently, a shortcoming they will be eager to address sooner rather than later to fully ward off the spectre of relegation, so that they can then focus on finishing as high up the standings as possible.
- The RCDE Stadium has been a tough place for away teams to go this term, but Betis are unbeaten on their last couple of visits to the ground in LaLiga Santander (W1 D1). What's more, Ruben Castro has scored four times in his last six league appearances against Espanyol.
