Real Betis vs Girona FC Prediction

Going into this game Real Betis are in much better form. They also have the advantage when it comes to games against Girona. Not only this but they score a lot of goals and with Girona’s poor record in pre season when it comes to conceding goals this could be a struggle for the away side.

Despite this, Real Betis have conceded a fair few goals recently and if Girona can come into this game and show any sort of form from last season's campaign it could be a close run fixture.

That is why our team of professional tipping experts have selected odds of 10/3 in this game backing Real Betis To Win, Over 2.5 Match Goals & Both Teams To Score as the best value tip in this fixture. A £10 bet could return a potential £43.33.
