Real Betis are fifth in La Liga and looking like getting their best finish since coming fourth in the 2004-05 season. It's a big improvement on the last couple of seasons since returning to the top flight when they finished 10th and 15th. There's little chance of qualifying for the Champions League as they trail fourth place Valencia by ten points with four games to go but it's looking good for a place in the group stages of the Europa League and Sevilla losing at Levante on Friday was a great result for them. A win over Malaga could be enough to clinch qualification if other results go their way.  Betis are unbeaten in their last seven league games and haven't conceded a goal in any of their last six. Home form sees them on a run of four games, all with clean sheets since losing 5-3 to Real Madrid.

They will be confident of three points here as Betis take on Malaga who are bottom of the table and already relegated. Malaga did win their last game though with a 2-0 home win over Real Sociedad but had lost their previous three league games dooming them to the drop. Away form is the worst in the league with just five points all season and one win and that was at Real Sociedad in December, perhaps they should just play them every week. Since that win they have gone nine away league games without victory and earned just two points and have only scored eight away league games all season. This looks booked for a home win for Betis.
