Final result: 0–2 · Tipped scorers hit: 0/3

Goals: Rodrigo Riquelme (Real Betis, 81') · Marc Bartra (Real Betis, 89')

Why we called it

Fourth-placed Betis are the better side, but they travel after Wednesday's Champions League defeat in Dortmund and without Cucho Hernández or the suspended Facundo Bernal. That leaves an even game, with Betis just ahead.

Form

Elche (17th, 10 points) lost 1-0 at home to Valencia after a 3-0 win at Rayo and goalless draws with Villarreal and Celta. Betis (4th, 23 points) beat Málaga 2-1 and drew 0-0 at Celta, then lost 2-1 at Dortmund in the Champions League.

Context

Betis have three days to recover from the trip to Germany for an early Sunday kickoff. Elche have had a full week but lost Lemar last weekend.

What's at stake

Betis want to protect fourth place, while Elche are a point above the relegation zone.

Betting market

Elche 3.21, Betis 2.09; over 2.5 is 1.64. The market favours Betis more than our final numbers do and expects more goals.

From the model to the call

The model had 1.42 v 1.48. Betis drop to 1.38 for the midweek trip and Bernal's suspension; Cucho has been out since mid-October, so that is mostly priced in. Elche drop to 1.37 without Lemar.
