- Ernesto Valverde's team has scored nine and only conceded one in their last three outings, with Aritz Aduriz taking his tally for the campaign up to 17 with four goals in that period.
Real Betis (11th, 34 pts)
- Victory over Granada CF last time out gave Juan Merino's side breathing space, with an eight-point cushion separating them from the drop zone.
- The Andalusian team has racked up back-to-back wins and is unbeaten in six league games. The club has only lost once in the nine games since Merino took over the reins, with defensive statistics showing a marked improvement. Betis have only conceded eight goals in that spell, one fewer than in the three matches just before the Spaniard took charge.
