Real Betis
Real Betis used to play much better at Benito Villamarin earlier in the season.
No it doesn’t seem to make a difference whether they play on the home court or on the road because they lose matches either way.
The team has four losses in last five league outings and they suffered a real 4-1 disaster in the previous round against Las Palmas on the Canarian Islands.
Eibar
The story is completely different with Eibar who have been enjoying a fabulous campaign in the top flight of the Spanish football.
The team led by Jose Mendilibar came just on the brink of the positions which lead to Europa League in the next season.
They are only two points away from Real Sociedad in the sixth position after winning three straight matches (including two on the road against the likes of Villarreal and Celta de Vigo).
