Nobody in Europe has lost less than Betis in 2021

Two draws in the first two games, against opponents who are theoretically destined to fight for permanence, have left a trace of concern in Betis that somehow helps to balance a very favorable statistic: Manuel Pellegrini's are the team that has lost the least in 2021 of the five major European leagues.

The statistics, from @LaLigaEnDirecto, underlines that the Verdiblanco team has only signed two official defeats in the 28 games they have played throughout the year, 24 in the League and two in the Cup. Only Barcelona at home (2-3) and Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán (1-0), in the regularity championship, have managed to defeat Pellegrini's men in the calendar year. In the Cup, after leaving Mutilvera, Sporting and Real Sociedad by the wayside, Athletic had to reach the penalty shoot-out to eliminate the Heliopolitans.

It was on March 14 when Betis fell for the last time, in Nervión before the eternal rival. The problem is, he hasn't won much since then. Added seven draws and four victories in the last 11 days of the last League and has another two tied in the first two of this 2021-22. On Saturday, Real Madrid visit Benito Villamarín.
