Espanyol vs Real Betis prediction
Espanyol's solid start to the season continued last weekend when they shared a goalless draw with Girona in a Catalan Derby. While it wasn't the three points they would have been hoping for, especially given Girona's struggles this term, the fact remains that they have lost just one of their opening seven games of the La Liga campaign.
Real Betis share the same record of three wins, three draws and one defeat. Having not lost since August, Manuel Pellegrini's side are currently unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, and have recorded successive 2-0 victories - at home to Osasuna in the league followed by a win away at Ludogorets in the UEFA Europa League.
It's been a busy fixture run for Betis, and that may catch up with them here against a solid Espanyol side. A home win is the prediction.
