Real Betis are finishing the season strongly and can book a place in the Europa League with a win over Andalusian rivals Malaga this evening.
Malaga head to the Estadio Benito Villamarín off the back of a 2-0 home win over Real Sociedad but their fate has already been sealed and they will be playing in the Segunda Division next season.
The visitors have just one win and five points in total to show from 17 away games so far this season and are unlikely to improve on that record against Betis, who are the in-form team in La Liga.
The Boquerones have struggled on the road and have lost seven of their last nine on their travels, drawing the other two games, and they could well be heading for another loss this evening.
Betis saw a six-match winning run ended with a draw at Atletico Madrid last time out and at home they have managed three successive victories.
Betis are 10/27 to claim the win but we can be a bit braver in this one and the 23/20 on a home win with a -1 handicap is my top bet in this match-up.
Malaga rarely take a big beating but Betis have been in good scoring form and can win with some room to spare this evening as they look to book a place in Europe next season.
