Real Betis vs Recreativo Huelva

20/1- The second half of the season is a blessing in disguise for the fans at Real Betis, the team was struggling in the relegation zone for the major part of the first season and now find themselves in the 16^th position, a couple of positions out of the danger zone. Though the difference between them and the bottom 3 is just a single point, the important thing is that they have been able to move out of it. After beating Getafe in a thrilling 3-2 encounter at home they now get prepared to take on Recreativo Huelva at home again. Recreativo are just a place behind Real Betis and are equal on points but their form looks to have taken a dip and last week’s loss to Vallodolid just added salt to injury. Their away form has been miserable and in such a situation it can be quite tricky for them to take on an improving team like Real Betis.

Real Betis have won their last match and would like to continue the winning run and next week they travel to Espanyol, which would be a tougher tie and hence they would like to score the maximum amount of points from this match. Playing against an opponent like Recreativo, who have been facing a lot of problems themselves. Winning 3 of their last 5 matches and with Pavone and Caffa in great form, it all seems good for Real Betis. They would be expecting to score a few goals and probably climb a few more positions on the points table.

Recreativo are dangerously moving towards the danger zone and have been able to manage 3 draws in the last 4 matches but they need to get back to winning ways in order to get themselves to a safer position but against Real Betis at home looks quite difficult.

Prediction: 2-0, Real Betis win
