Betis take on the visitors Girona in the round 13 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, November 23rd at Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla).
Real Betis had spent many years living in the shadow of their city rivals Sevilla, despite having ambitions of their own. That changed with the arrival of Pellegrini, who, while not matching Sevilla’s trophy haul, still delivered a Copa del Rey triumph and, most importantly, steady success both in La Liga and in European competitions. Last season was another strong showing, with a sixth-place league finish and a run to the UEFA Conference League final. This year, in the more prestigious Europa League, Betis have been alternating wins and draws, maintaining competitiveness on the continental stage. Their domestic start was far more modest, yet a productive deadline period — including the return of Antony from Manchester United — helped stabilise performance. Even with the recent 1–1 draw against Valencia, their tally of 20 points is enough to keep them in sole possession of fifth place. Their defensive organisation has also become more reliable in recent weeks, helping them avoid costly slip-ups. At the same time, they appear more confident in controlling matches, especially at home, where their form has steadily improved.

Girona are desperately trying to pick up momentum. The Catalan side shocked Spain two years ago, spending a long stretch at the top of the table before eventually finishing an extraordinary third. That achievement earned them a Champions League debut, but the campaign went poorly both in Europe and domestically. They hovered dangerously close to relegation, escaping only because their 41 points edged out Leganés’ 40, resulting in a modest 16th-place finish. Worse still, they began the new season no better, opening August with a series of defeats that reinforced concerns about their regression. However, autumn brought gradual improvements, helped by several late-window additions, and they managed to pick up a few much-needed victories. At the moment they remain level with Valencia on 10 points after beating Oviedo 1–0, though they have not yet climbed out of the relegation zone. Their recent performances show greater structure and discipline, which has allowed them to stay competitive even against stronger sides. Still, consistency remains elusive, and each round feels crucial in their struggle to escape the lower positions.
Girona had managed a win and two draws across recent meetings, but in April they suffered a 1–3 home defeat to the visitors from Seville. The hosts are clearly the stronger team at this stage. Back Real Betis to secure the victory.
Prediction for the match: Betis to win.
