Real Betis host Deportivo Alaves at Estadio de La Cartuja, Sevilla on Sunday, Jan 3 at 3:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the LaLiga, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Real Betis come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 0L). Deportivo Alaves travel in mixed form (1W 1D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Real Betis and Deportivo Alaves have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Real Betis won 1–2.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Real Betis win or a draw looks most likely.
