The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend with another round of matches as Real Betis take on Deportivo Alaves at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Monday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and need a victory in this fixture.
Deportivo Alaves are in 18th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and are likely to face an intense relegation battle in the coming weeks. The Basque outfit suffered a 1-0 defeat against Osasuna last week and will want to bounce back in this game.
Real Betis, on the other hand, currently find themselves in sixth place in the league table and have shown marked improvement in recent weeks. The Andalusians have registered three victories on the trot and will be confident ahead of this match.

The reverse fixture between the two teams took place in September last year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Real Betis. Cristian Tello scored a late winner on the day and will want to have a similar impact on this match.
