Real Betis are coming into this match in poor form, having lost four of their last five games and only managing a single draw. They have struggled to keep opponents out, conceding at least two goals in each of those losses. Espanyol, meanwhile, have had a mixed run recently, with two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five matches, showing they can be competitive on their day.

Looking at recent meetings between the two sides, goals have been fairly common. Three of the last four head-to-head matches have seen both teams score, including a 2-2 draw and two 1-2 away wins for Espanyol. Given Betis's current struggles and the fact that Espanyol have enjoyed good results in recent away games against them, this match looks fairly open and could easily go either way. Based on the facts, an Espanyol win seems the most likely outcome.
