Real Betis vs Deportivo La Coruna

2/2- Real Betis are the team on a comeback, After a dismal first half of the season when they spent most of their time in the relegation time they have started their climb up since the beginning of the second half. They have climbed up to the14th spot and they have moved away a good three points from the relegation zone, a great achievement for a team that was mostly in the bottom three. After a good win last week away from home, Real Betis play hosts to Deportivo La Coruna at home. Deportivo are on the 19^th place on the points table and they too are trying hard to ensure their stay in the top league, they also put up a spirited performance last week to win the home tie and keep hopes alive for the players and the fans. The last when the team met in the first half of the season Deportivo were playing at home and won 1-0 but on current form that might not matter that much.

Real Betis were playing against Espanyol in an away tie last week and they surprised everyone by defeating the 5^th placed side 1-2, this was just the second win for the side away from home and 5 of the 6 wins for Real Betis have come in the last 10 matches. With Pavone and Schmidt in good form the side can surely get the victory. With the home crowd behind them they would find a lot more support and the chances of a victory would surely increase.

Deportivo La Coruna have also pulled up a victory against Valladolid last week to register the 5^th victory of the season, they still have a long way to go in terms of a route out of the relegation zone. They would try to at least get a point of this game so that the points keep on adding.

Prediction: 2-0, Real Betis win
