Real Betis are set to play host to Granada at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Monday for their latest La Liga game.
Real Betis come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Sergio Gonzalez's Real Valladolid last Sunday at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla. A second-half goal from Spanish forward Aitor Ruibal for Real Betis was cancelled out by a goal from Israeli striker Shon Weissman for Real Valladolid.
Granada, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Alvaro Cervera's Cadiz last Sunday at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes. A first-half goal from Spanish forward attacker Ruben Sobrino, on loan from Valencia, secured the win for Cadiz. Granada had experienced striker Roberto Soldado sent off in the second-half.

Real Betis vs Granada Prediction
Real Betis are currently 7th in La Liga, five points behind 5th-placed Real Sociedad who have played a game more. Manuel Pellegrini will be missing some key personnel in defence and attack, namely Aissa Mandi and Nabil Fekir, and it will be interesting to see how they cope without their presence.
Granada, on the other hand, are 8th in the league table, six points behind Real Betis. They have impressed under the management of Diego Martinez, with Venezuelan midfielder Yangel Herrera, on loan from Manchester City, doing especially well.
A close match is on the cards, and a draw seems to be an ideal result.
Prediction: Real Betis 1-1 Granada
