Real Betis heads into the 2017-2018 season with a new manager and a lot of new faces. Real Betis avoided relegation last season but there wasn’t much excitement surrounding the team. That is not the case this season, as there is a lot of optimism at the Benito Villamarin that Quique Setien will get this team into contention for an upper table finish in 2017-2018. The concern for Los Verdiblancos is the loss of star midfielder Dani Ceballos and the absence of Ruben Castro until January. The early season could be a struggle for Real Betis but when this team gets rolling they could be one to watch in La Liga in the New Year.
Real Betis La Liga Futures Odds
Odds To Win La Liga: +5000 (Field)
Odds To Be Relegated: +500
Oddsmakers are not that high on Real Betis for the 2017-2018, as they give the team no chance to win La Liga and no real chance to finish in the Top 4. Oddsmakers believe that Real Betis could be in some relegation danger, as the odds on relegation for Real Betis is +500. Those odds seem too low considering Real Betis should be better than they were a year ago when they eight points clear of the relegation zone.

What's New?
Real Betis added Sergio Leon from Osasuna, Victor Camarasa from Levante, Cristian Tello from Barcelona, Andres Guardado from PSV, Antonio Barragan from Middlesbrough, Jordi Amat from Swansea, Javi Garcia from Zenit, Ryad Boudebouz from Montpellier and Zouhair Feddal from Alaves.
One of the key newcomers could be Boudebouz who is an exciting playmaker. “I am happy to come to Spain and delighted to wear the colors of Betis. I can't wait for La Liga to begin. I've always loved Spanish football." Boudebouz told journalists. He had 11 goals and 9 assists last season in Lique 1.
Another key newcomer is Javi Garica who joined Betis from Zenit. Garcia also spent time with Manchester City before joining Zenit in 2014. He said on the Real Betis website that he is excited to play for his new squad. "I am very excited. Betis were my first choice because the club is making a great effort to put a competitive team together."
What's Gone?
Real Betis lost Cristiano Piccini to Sporting CP, Alex Martinez to Granada, Petros to Sao Paulo, Dani Ceballos to Real Madrid, Ruben Castro on loan to Guizhou Zhicheng, Alvaro Cejudo to Western Sydney Wanderers, Jonas Martin to Strasbourg, Manu Herrera to Osasuna, Alex Alegria on loan to Levante, Jose Carlos on loan to Lorca, Bruno Gonzalez, Dani Pacheco, and Francisco Portillo to Getafe and they lost Ruben Pardo and Ryan Donk whose loans ended.
Real Betis 2017-18 Predictions
Real Betis may not be getting nearly enough respect heading into the 2017-2018 season. They were a boring team last season, as they scored only 41 goals but they have a much different look this season with a new manager and a number of new players. Betis finished 6-7-6 at home last season and they should be better in front of their home fans this year and they should also be better on the road, as they lost 13 away games last season.
Real Betis doesn’t look like a team that will be in any relegation danger this season but they could definitely surprise and make a run at an upper table finish in 2017-2018. If Betis can survive the early part of the season they will get a major boost with the return of Castro from China. It would not be a surprise if Betis made a run at a 10th place finish in La Liga in 2017-2018.
