Real Betis will try to take sixth place in the league standings this Sunday with a win at the Benito Villamarín against UD Almería, bottom side and already relegated to the second division, although in the last few games, especially away from home, they have been performing at a very good level.
Since Pepe Mel's arrival on the bench, they have two wins and a draw away from home in the three games they have played, after a run of 28 games without a win, home and away.
The former Granada coach made his debut in the Almeria dugout with a win at Las Palmas on 17 March, then drew 2-2 at Anoeta against Real Sociedad on 14 April and now has just won this Sunday at Vallecas against Rayo, so he has two wins and a draw in his three trips, a record only surpassed by the already league champions, Real Madrid, the only team to have won their last three away games.
At home, Almería,have lost all three matches played with Pepe Mel in the dugout: 0-3 against Osasuna, 1-2 against Villarreal and 1-3 against Getafe eight days ago, a result that mathematically certified Almeria's relegation.
