Comprehensive Index Analysis:

This game is the first to be hit. Judging from the initial data concessions, the institutions have made concessions to Real Betis' away game, ranging from -0.25 to the hemisphere. The market will be adjusted to a draw in the hemisphere in the future. The confidence index does not seem to be sufficient. As a mid-level team in La Liga, Real Betis should be much higher in strength than Echel, who has just entered La Liga, but in fact, there is no support in the data. Echel was still relatively outstanding in defense last season, so for this game, it is more inclined to Echel's unbeaten at home!
