THE PREDICTION
It was a thrilling return to the European competition for Real Betis in midweek. Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis went 2-0 down early on at home to Celtic but they managed to get over the line and win the game 4-3. The Andalusians have a relatively thin squad and might find it difficult to cope with the demands of UEFA Europa League football alongside La Liga. They come up against newly-promoted Espanyol. The visitors come into this on the back of a gutting defeat at home to Atletico Madrid whereby Thomas Lemar scored in the 99th minute of the match to win 2-1. That followed another slender defeat away to Real Mallorca. The Catalans have scored just one goal this season but have conceded just three as well and, given the potential for tiredness for Betis, under 2.5 goals looks likely in this one.
