Betis vs Aris prediction 09.11.2023

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 9th November 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)

On Thursday night, Betis and Aris will meet in a very important match at Estadio Benito Villamarin. The Spanish team is the first in the group with six points from three matches, and a win in the upcoming tie would mean that they are one step away from the knockout phase. On the other hand, Aris have only three points, but a potential win for visitors would propel them back into contention for the first two positions on the table. 

Betis have a solid season. In the Europa League, they are on the right track, while in LaLiga, Manuel Pellegrini's team holds a respectable sixth position. Betis won the last four matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they won 2-0 at home against Mallorca. The home side had 14 shots at the goal more than the opponent, so it is no wonder they picked up another victory. 

It seems that the Cypriot championship will be interesting this season. Aris is sharing the leading position with 23 points from ten matches with APOEL, while Omonia and Paphos are three points behind. Aris won five of the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home against Nea Salamis.
