After another excellent game and a fairly easy 3-0 win over Alaves, Girona is expecting a visit to Betis. This match will be completely different and I honestly think it will be much tougher, without too many opportunities for goals. Betis can be completely satisfied with the performance in the previous part of the season, given that before this round they are in seventh place in the table, with 27 points won, seven less than the teams in the positions leading to next year's Champions League. The host is the absolute record holder of this year's La Liga for the number of draws, as many as nine, and there is no doubt that their ranking would have been even better if they had managed to turn some of those draws into victories. I'm primarily referring to the duels with Almeria, Cadiz and Alaves, in which they were a much better opponent, but they lacked concentration in the final stages of the action. In the last round, they had a very difficult away game against Sociedad, in which they were an equally dangerous rival and it can be said that at certain moments they were a more dangerous team. What is their greatest virtue is the fact that they play very well on their home field, where they have fantastic support from the fans. Betis has transformed their Benito Villamarin into an impregnable fortress, standing as one of the few teams still holding an undefeated record, securing five triumphs and sharing the points on five occasions thus far. Also, it's worth noting that neither of the Madrid giants managed to find the key to victory on Andalusian soil, as the Betis played out a goalless stalemate against Atletico, while earlier in the month, they held Real to a 1-1 draw. They have no defeat in 8 games played on their home field, and it is important to note that they conceded only 3 goals in those matches, which only indicates that Girona will have a lot of problems to win all three points in this match.

Few expected that after almost half of the championship, the leader of La Liga would be Girona. In that period, today's guests recorded as many as fourteen victories, with two draws and only one defeat, and that was against Real Madrid. In addition, Girona defeated Barcelona two rounds ago at Camp Nou with a score of 2:4, once again showing the highest ambitions of this season. Girona showed the characteristic of great teams, which is the diversity in the game, and anyone who watched the duel with Barcelona and, for example, with Alaves, could see the ability to change from a defensive team oriented to counterattacks, such as they were at Camp Nou, to an attacking one a team with a lot of possession, which was certainly noticeable in the previous round against Alaves. In my opinion, the fatigue of the players will be a very important factor in this match, and considering that Girona played their last match only 3 days ago, the question is how much time the players had to prepare for such a difficult match. It's crazy to talk about the shortcomings of a team that plays almost perfectly, but this match can be very unpleasant for them. Even the smallest details will have a big influence on the outcome of this match, and I have to give the advantage to the experienced Pellegrini, who had a large number of difficult matches in his coaching career. This game can easily go either way, but because of the way Betis play in their stadium, I give them a very slight advantage in this match.

在又一场精彩的比赛和轻松的3-0战胜阿拉维斯之后，赫罗纳期待着做客贝蒂斯。这场比赛将会完全不同，老实说我认为比赛会更加艰难，没有太多的进球机会。贝蒂斯完全可以对自己前半赛季的表现感到满意，因为在本轮之前，他们以27分的积分排名积分榜第7位，比明年欧冠前几名的球队少7分。东道主是今年西甲平局数量的绝对保持者，多达9场，毫无疑问，如果他们能够将其中一些平局转化为胜利，他们的排名会更好。我主要指的是与阿尔梅里亚，加的斯和阿拉维斯的决斗，他们是一个更好的对手，但他们在最后阶段缺乏注意力。在上一轮，他们在客场对阵社会的比赛中表现得非常艰难，他们是一个同样危险的对手，可以说在某些时刻他们是一支更危险的球队。他们最大的优点是他们在自己的主场打得很好，那里有球迷的大力支持。贝蒂斯已经把他们的贝尼托·维拉马林变成了坚不可摧的堡垒，成为少数几支保持不败纪录的球队之一，迄今为止取得了五场胜利，五次分享积分。此外，值得注意的是，这两支马德里豪门都没有在安达卢西亚的土地上找到胜利的关键，因为贝蒂斯在对阵马竞的比赛中一球未进，而本月早些时候，他们1-1战平了皇马。他们在主场的8场比赛中没有输过球，值得注意的是，他们在这些比赛中只丢了3个球，这只表明赫罗纳在这场比赛中要赢得全部三分将会遇到很多问题。

几乎没有人预料到，在联赛过半之后，西甲的领头羊会是赫罗纳。在那个时期，今天的客人取得了多达14场胜利，2平1负，那是对皇马的比赛。此外，赫罗纳两轮前在诺坎普以2:4的比分击败了巴塞罗那，再次展示了本赛季的最高雄心。赫罗纳展示了伟大球队的特点，那就是比赛的多样性，任何看过与巴塞罗那的对决的人，比如与阿拉维斯的对决，都可以看到他们从防守为主的反击球队转变为进攻为主的球队，就像他们在诺坎普的比赛一样，这在上一轮对阵阿拉维斯的比赛中当然是显而易见的。在我看来，球员的疲劳将是这场比赛的一个非常重要的因素，考虑到赫罗纳的最后一场比赛才3天前，问题是球员们有多少时间为这样一场艰难的比赛做准备。谈论一支踢得近乎完美的球队的缺点是疯狂的，但这场比赛对他们来说是非常不愉快的。即使是最小的细节也会对这场比赛的结果产生很大的影响，我必须给予经验丰富的佩莱格里尼优势，他在执教生涯中经历了大量困难的比赛。这场比赛很容易发生两种情况，但由于贝蒂斯在主场的比赛方式，我认为他们在这场比赛中有很小的优势。
