Real Betis visit San Mamés

On Monday, November 23 at 21:00 CET, Athletic Club face Real Betis in their LaLiga Matchday 10 fixture. The lions will be looking to return to winning ways and they’ll be taking on a rival which has traditionally struggled at San Mamés.

The Seville-based outfit are coming off the back of a 5-2 loss to FC Barcelona in the Camp Nou. Nonetheless, Real Betis sit in seventh place in the LaLiga Santander table with 12 points, having managed wins against Alavés, Real Valladolid, Valencia and Elche.

The historical head-to-head between the two clubs favours Athletic. The lions have beaten the Andalusians 31 times, 16 fixtures have ended in a stalemate and Betis have won on seven occasions.

In recent years, Athletic have done particularly well in LaLiga against their upcoming opponents at San Mámes. Since 2012-13, when Athletic fell to a 3-5 loss at The Cathedral, the lions have notched six consecutive victories against the team from Seville, without conceding a goal in the last three fixtures.
