Club Friendly: Real Betis Vs Como Prediction, Betting Tips And Odds

Start

Ahead of Wednesday’s friendly clash in Seville, FootItalia has the Real Betis Vs Como odds, betting tips, match prediction and more. 

The Biancoblu have already tasted victory against Lille, Al-Ahli and most recently Ajax in their three pre-season games so far this summer.

Nico Paz, Anastasios Douvikas and Croatian star Martin Baturina all got on the scoresheet in the Como Cup against the Dutch giants at the Sinigaglia on July 27.

The fixture against Betis will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Manuel Pellegrini’s side beat Sunderland 1-0 last time out and drew 1-1 with Coventry before that.

Real Betis Vs Como Team News And Predicted Lineups

Como will be brimming with confidence after cruising past Ajax in their latest pre-season victory. The Biancoblu are the favorites with offshore sportsbooks to make it four wins from four this summer.

Ten new players have been signed by head coach Cesc Fabregas so far and the vast majority are expected to feature at some point in Seville.

Martin Baturina is likely to start once again. The signing from Dinamo Zagreb scored against the Dutch side in the last fixture and looked impressive throughout.

Jesus Rodriguez is in line to play against his former club. The 19-year-old Spaniard only moved to the Sinigaglia at the beginning of July.

Alberto Dossena will miss out through injury and Jayden Addai may make the bench. The recent acquisition from AZ Alkmaar has been struggling for fitness.

Meanwhile, Real Betis won’t be able to call upon the injured duo Diego Llorente and Marc Roca. Legendary midfielder Isco is expected to start in midfield with Cedric Bakambu leading the attack.

Real Betis Predicted XI: Valles; Ortiz, Natan, Gomez, Firpo; Perez, Altimira; Garcia, Isco, Avila; Bakambu

Como Predicted XI: Butez (GK); Vojvoda, Van Der Brempt, Kempf, Valle; Paz, Perrone, Baturina; Rodriguez, Cutrone, Diao

Real Betis Vs Como Prediction

On paper, it makes for an exciting encounter and that is exactly what we are predicting at the Villamarin Stadium. Real Betis and Como have looked strong in pre-season.

On the goal front, 15 have been netted between both sides in the summer and we are expecting that number to significantly increase by the full time whistle.

There will be plenty of attacking talent on display and although there will be a number of substitutions, a free-flowing and exciting game lies in store.

Unable to pick a winner, we will sit on the fence and call a highscoring draw.

Prediction: Real Betis 2-2 Como

Real Betis Vs Como Betting Tips

  • Real Betis Vs Como betting tip 1: Martin Baturina to score anytime at +500.

Big things are expected of Martin Baturina this season and the Croatian star was hugely impressive against Ajax last time out. He netted against the Dutch giants and we expect him to be on target again in Spain.

  • Real Betis Vs Como betting tip 2: Over 3.5 goals at +140.

Friendly games do have a tendency to be low scoring affairs when two evenly matched teams are pitted against each other. However, we don’t expect that to be the case in Spain with a number of attacking stars expected to feature.
