Real Betis vs Alavés Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

Deportivo Alaves came out on top with an easy win against Los Verdiblancos when these clubs last met.

Real Betis are all set to lock horns with Deportivo Alavés in the matchweek 2 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga season. It is going to be an interesting fixture between these clubs, which will take place at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla.

Real Betis came in after an underwhelming pre-season run. They were held to a draw against the newly promoted side, Elche, in their opening game of the new LaLiga season. Los Verdiblancos will now be looking for a win here, but it is not going to be an easy fixture for them.

Deportivo Alavés secured a win against Levante in their previous match of the Spanish First Division. They secured a dominating victory against Real Betis during the last season. Alaves will be looking for their second consecutive win of the season, and with their current form, they might be even to do so.
