Pepe Mel: 'We are looser away from home'

Real Betis boss Pepe Mel claims that his team are finding it easier to play away from home in La Liga, as shown by their strong form on their travels.

Real Betis boss Pepe Mel has admitted that his team are "looser" and have more confidence when they play away from home in La Liga.

Mel's side have won four of their last six away games in Spain's top flight and have not been beaten on their travels since losing at Real Madrid in August.

The Betis boss has joked that the club should think about 'closing their stadium' in order to continue their strong run of form.

"We'll have to get our stadium closed down at this rate!" Mel told reporters.

"The team are looser and try out more things [away from home]. I don't know why we find it harder at [Benito] Villamarin because our fans support us, are courageous and eager to see their team win."

Betis, who currently sit 11th in the La Liga table, have only won one of their six home league matches this season.
