On Thursday, December 29, 2022, the 2022-23 La Liga round 15 match between Real Betis and the Athletic Bilbao will be played at the Benito Villamarín (Sevilla) which will be broadcast live streaming. The race for three points from the top two teams in the La Liga standings is expected to be fierce.
Real Betis has the opportunity to enter 2023 in third place in the standings by adding three points. Conversely, a draw or loss has the potential to put Los Verdiblancos out of competition for tickets to European competition.
The tight competition for points between the owners of third to ninth positions in the standings is indeed a challenge for Betis and Athletic Bilbao. Manuel Pellegrini’s troops must be willing to be in sixth place, two levels below Athletic Bilbao, only because they lost on goal difference even though they have the same number of points.
The problem is, before the World Cup break Betis appeared less impressive in the last eight league matches, collecting only nine points and suffering the heaviest defeat, 3-0, against Valencia just before the World Cup title started.
Indeed, Betis currently has two golden opportunities to go to European competition next season. His position as group C winner in the Europa League makes him automatically qualify for the round of 16.
However, the involvement of big former Champions League clubs such as Barcelona and Juventus makes Betis more vigilant. It would be safer if Borja Iglesias and his colleagues improved their performance in La Liga, especially after making a special positive record at home with five wins, one draw and only one defeat.
In line with the host, Athletic Bilbao also has the opportunity to welcome the new year in third place. Moreover, Ernesto Valverde’s troops came with a brilliant record, winning consecutively in the last seven matches, including four friendlies.
Los Leones also has a positive historical record with 41 wins in 103 league matches against Betis. But Athletic Bilbao failed to bring home any points in their last two away games before the World Cup break, losing 4-0 to Barcelona and 2-1 against Girona.
