What did we measure but not count?
Real Betis are unbeaten in their last 15 home La Liga games: 10 wins and 5 draws. The run began on 21 December 2025. Last recorded home league defeat: 6 December 2025 — Real Betis 3–5 Barcelona. Latest home league result: 11 October 2026 — Real Betis 5–2 Osasuna. Across 13,706 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 56.0%, compared with 54.8% expected from team strength. Out: Jan Bednarek, a star player, and William, a rotation player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team.
