Just three days later and not having much time to enjoy the crucial victory over Mallorca last Saturday, Elche CF movement This Tuesday (9:00 pm) a new party in the stadium Benito Villamarinin front Betis.
The group from Elche wants to capitalize on the momentum and morale expressed by the victory over the Majorcans and will try to surprise Betis, who may be distracted by the Copa del Rey final against Valencia on Saturday,They have a great opportunity to win the championship 16 years later.
But Manuel Pellegrini’s team won’t make it easy. It has a large staff and quality players that can rest many players. Moreover, The Andalusian team also dreams of being in the top four and playing in the Champions League next season.. Betis He is fifth with 57 points, just three behind Atlético de Madrid and arch-rivals Sevilla.. A season that will finish the course with the Cup championship and qualify for the Champions League and further ahead of Sevilla fans will be an honorable season. Therefore, they certainly won’t be providing any convenience to Franjiverdes tonight.
Elche has already shown with rare exceptions, able to stand up to any opponent and in any field. Today he plans to do it again in Benito Villamarín and walk out the front door. A victory will ensure permanence. Even a draw would have boosted morale too much to try to be the best possible classified in the final part of the championship.
Francisco will return and make changes in the starting 11, as it makes sense. Almeria coach cannot be trusted injured Lucas Boyé and Guido Carrilloduration Omar Mascarell should be suspended one match for receiving five yellow cards. Franjiverde coach saved Colombian Helibelton Palacios, who could not face Mallorca because he was suspended.
Francisco did not reveal whether he would continue the three central defender and two lane system he used last Saturday. Given the good result and the potential of the opponent, he can continue to bet on a tactical trend that he likes and has used in many moments of his career. Especially in his scenes in Girona and Huesca.
If it happens, Diego Gonzalez there are many ballots to get into the line of three defenders instead Pedro Bigas. The Balearic centre-back has made it through his illness against Mallorca and has had a lot of injury-related issues this season. So I could rest.
Josan it also resulted in muscle problems and had to ask for the change. As it is a meeting away from home, Helibelton PalaciosYou will almost certainly enter the side or right lane.
Due to Mascarell’s sanction, there is a mandatory replacement as defensive midfielder. Argentine Ivan Marcone He has all the votes for the start, just as the Canary did three days ago at San Mamés against Athletic Club de Bilbao when they had a feverish process hours before the game.
okraAnother fully-trusted player of Francisco’s was a substitute on Saturday and everything points to him being in the starting lineup tonight. in a similar situation Pear Milla. Catalan doesn’t look his best, but he’s a born fighter. It can even be offensive reference and Ezekiel Ponce He retired to the bench in order not to be a burden to the Argentinean, who suffered a six-month injury in February. Even more so, not to push him because of the absence of Boyé and Carrillo, who will take several weeks to get back.
Another one of the players who could make it into tonight’s rotations Tete Morentewho would occupy the inner right position he played Kike Perez against Majorca.
Elche’s possible starting eleven would be built like this: Edgar Badia, Helibelton Palacios, Enzo Roco, Gonzalo Verdú, Diego González, Mojica, Marcone, Gumbau, Fidel, Tete Morente and Pere MIlla.
