The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day

Day 17: We're backing Real Betis to see off Granada at [2.2]

It's all gone a bit wrong for us over the past few days, and our punt on Laura Marling to win the Mercury Music Prize yesterday was thwarted by The xx and their (pretty good) debut album.

We're on firmer ground today though as we're sticking with football. It's not the most exciting football admittedly, but Real Betis against Granada in the Spanish cup should hopefully get us back to winning ways.

The two sides have already met each other in the league this season with Betis coming out on top with a convincing 4-1 win thanks to a brace from Jorge Molina. Betis should make it two from two today against a side who have lost their opening two league games, but did manage to overcome Albacete in their first cup match.

Real Betis haven't lost in their last 11 away games and at [2.2] they look well worth a punt to get their fifth win in a row.

Our bet: We're backing Real Betis to beat Granada at [2.2], which means that - before considering commission - we stand to win £12. The same wager only pays out £11. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to £30 refunded for a week.

Profit so far: -£8.45
