La Liga is back in a fury, with multiple games every day and great action all over the country. Matchday 29 gets going on Monday June 15, 2020 when Real Betis and Granada battle it out. This game will air live on beIN SPORTS at 4:00 p.m. EST. Betis is looking to rebound from a tough loss in the Seville Derby, while Granada looks to stay in the Europa League race.
Entering Friday, June 12, Real Betis sit in 12th on the table with 33 points. A Levante and Alaves win this weekend would see Betis fall all the way to 14th on the table. Betis are just eight points clear of the relegation zone and are nine points away from a Europa League berth.
Entering matchday 28 Granada sit in ninth on the table, with 38 points, and are just four points clear of a Europa League berth. Granada hosts Getafe this weekend and could jump into eighth on the table with a win or draw. The club has been a great story all season, but they thrive on the back of their fans, so no spectators could hurt Granada the most.
Below is my pick for the La Liga action between Real Betis and Granada. All odds are from betMGM Sportsbook.
Real Betis (-105) vs Granada (+290) Draw (+250)
Real Betis restarted the La Liga season with a disappointing 2-0 loss in the Seville Derby. Sevilla, the hosts, scored two second half goals to come away with the derby win. Betis have now lost two of their last three games overall and have just one win in their last nine games. Real Betis are a middle of the table home club thanks to a 7-3-4 record and 24 points.
Granada plays against Getafe on Friday and will look to maintain their five-game unbeaten run. Before the shutdown, Granada took advantage of a week schedule and were able to secure three wins and two draws, but now start to gear up for a tougher schedule. Granada are a middle of the table road club thanks to a 3-3-8 record and 12 points.
Series History: These two clubs shave met 46 times in the past and it is Real Betis who hold a slight 20-10-16 advantage. Granada won the reverse fixture 1-0 in late October.
Game Prediction: I like Real Betis to get the win on Monday.
