Betis vs Girona prediction and betting tips - August 15, 2024
August 15 at the Benito Villamarín will be the match of the 1st round of the Primera, in which Betis will play against Girona. Ready exclusive prediction from the experts of Dailysports.
“Betis”
The team in 2020 lured the experienced Manuel Pellegrini as head coach. This allowed to turn into a regular in the European Cup, which did not work out before for quite a long time, despite a good squad. Moreover, at the second attempt under the "Engineer" "Beticos" climbed to fifth place, and won the Spanish Cup. But instead of further progress and qualifying for the Champions League, the Verdiblancos then began to give up positions.
And last spring they have already fallen back to seventh position, so now they will play only in the Conference League. It's important to stop this slide in the new campaign, to change the vector. The roster has changed quite noticeably, and there are both departed and new players, players with a name. And for the Chilean it is important to start with success - in the summer friendlies not everything worked out.
"Girona"
The club became the main sensation of last season. It was only the fourth for him at this level, and the second after his return. But the combination of successful selection and coaching talents of Micheal Sanchez allowed to "shoot". For a long time the team sensationally led, but, of course, in the end still let out from behind not only Real Madrid, but also Barcelona. But also 81 points, with the third final place in the Primera, was an unexpected success. As was the incredible performance of the rookie, Dovbik.
Artem, however, is already at Roma, and that's not the only loss: Aleix Garcia and Jan Kouto have also moved to the grands. However, the scouts have brought in a new batch of young talents, and van de Beek will also try to restart his career in Spain. There will also be other quite famous players - Krejci, Abel Ruiz, Gil. So there will be someone to debut in the Champions League, and, most importantly, the coaching staff did not react to any invitations and stayed to work in Catalonia.
