Latest Real Betis vs Girona football review
After three consecutive top-six finishes, Betis failed to maintain that streak in 2023-24, finishing just behind Real Sociedad. Despite finishing seventh, Los Verdiblancos secured a Europa Conference League spot, securing their fourth consecutive European appearance.
Betis have seen the departures of Chadi Riad, German Pezzella, Juan Miranda, Guido Rodriguez, Willian Jose and Borja Iglesias, along with Ayoze Perez, who has moved to Villarreal. However, they have added Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, Romain Perraud, Ricardo Rodriguez, Adrian and Iker Losada. Under Manuel Pellegrini, the team have endured an inconsistent pre-season, with two wins, two draws and two defeats.
Girona impressed last season, finishing third, but lost Savinho, Aleix Garcia and Artem Dovbyk. They have since signed Ladislav Krejci, Alejandro Frances, Oriol Romeu, Gabriel Misehouy, Donny van de Beek, Bryan Gil and Abel Ruiz to make up for it. Despite this, they have managed just one win, three defeats and three draws in pre-season friendlies.
Girona will be hoping to improve on their record against Betis, looking for their first away win against the side since March 2010. Both teams have endured a turbulent summer and are low on confidence, which could affect their chances of picking up three points in their opening game.
