REAL BETIS SEVILLE - RACING SANTANDER


Betis boss, Luis Fernandez, started his reign in fine style with a 1-0 home win over Celta Vigo, but was brought sharply down to earth , with a 5-1 hammering at Osasuna, last week.


Therefore, the 1-1 draw they earned at Real Madrid in midweek, knocking the giants from the capital out of the Copa del Rey, would have given their confidence a mighty and much needed boost.


They have to win today. Victory could take them out of the bottom 3, but anything less, especially facing fixtures against Barcelona, Seville and Valencia in the next 3 weeks, would be a total disaster.


Racing's ambitions for the season, do not extend beyond, preserving their position of safety, in mid table and they should accomplish that. I do not think there is too much between these two sides and this is the type of game Betis have to win, if they are to survive.


H2h favours the hosts, who have not lost in 11 meetings with Santander.


5 points Real Betis Seville -1/4 ball asian line 1.78.


Good Luck.
