Betis vs Rangers Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Real Betis will come into this match in high spirits after holding Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw last weekend. That was their third consecutive match without defeat in all competitions and 11th undefeated match in the league. In the Europa League, Betis have won three and lost two of their five matches to date. One of those losses was against this opponent at the Ibrox Stadium back in week one. While their form in this competition has been fairly solid, the Green-and-Whites have struggled to deliver the same type of performances in La Liga. They are in seventh place with 26 points after 16 matches and are already eight points behind the top four. Real Betis’ major strength of late has been their home form. They are unbeaten in all competitions on their home patch this season, with a record of seven wins and three draws. As a result, the bookmakers have them down as the clear favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, Rangers secured a 3-1 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership over the weekend. That results saw them move within five points of Celtic at the top of the league standings after the Hoops were beaten 2-1 by Kilmarnock on Sunday. It also marked The Gers' third consecutive win and took them to 13 matches unbeaten in all competitions. During that time, the visitors kept seven clean sheets, including two in their last three matches. Rangers only loss in this competition came against Aris Limassol back in week two. However, they did drop points elsewhere by drawing two of their last three games either side of a 2-1 win over Sparta Prague in week four. While Rangers are unbeaten in their last six away games, it is worth pointing out that they have not won an away game in Europa League competition since February last year. A draw could still see them reach the knockout round, but we expect the visitors to go all-out for the victory here, with Sparta heavily fancied to beat Aris in the other match in the group.
