A remarkable statistic, highlighting the fine ongoing form being enjoyed by La Liga outfit Real Betis, has early this week come to the fore online.
This comes fresh off another impressive victory for the Verdiblancos on Sunday.
After making the trip to Catalunya for a meeting with high-flying Espanyol, Manuel Pellegrini’s troops battled their way to an eventual 2-1 triumph.
As much proved enough to guide Betis into 4th spot in the Spanish top-flight table.
And as alluded to above, such fine form on the part of the Andalusian outfit stretches back into last season, too.
This fact has this week been summed up by a head-turning statistic.
As revealed by journalist Álvaro Borrego of El Desmarque:
‘Betis is the team from the 5 major European leagues that has lost the least since March. Only 4 defeats. PSG has lost 7 times. Madrid has lost 8 and Barcelona 5. Guardiola’s City has lost 5 times. Inter Milan 7. And Liverpool 9 times.’
