Pellegrini is betting on the fast route

Although Betis has struggled to achieve good results away from home, a problem that prevents it from being in the Top 6 of LaLiga and has gotten it into trouble in the Europa League, it managed to get right on a large scale in the League. the opening match of the cup against a 1-12 victory in a game in which Willian José scored four goals (despite missing a penalty) and was accompanied by a hat-trick by Rodri.

Manuel Pellegrini chose to make a lot of rotations against Hernán Cortés, but he used a very competitive eleven that allowed him to decide the match within a few minutes, even having important men in the team such as Abner, Chadi Riad, Abde Ezzalzouli or Willian. José himself and Rodri, without forgetting that Marc Roca or Héctor Bellerín played as substitutes.

It remains to be seen whether he will now adopt the same formula that worked so well, despite hosting Real Madrid three days later and having to play in Glasgow next week for Europa League continuity. If Pellegrini goes for the fast track again, he will be looking for a match similar to the one in the first round in which he managed to go into halftime with an overwhelming 0-9.

That’s why we risk scoring more goals in the first half than in the second, despite the fact that the statistics advise otherwise. It is true that in Betis matches it is more usual that most goals are scored after the break, but this event cannot be compared with the usual matches of the Betis, because their rival is Villanovense, a Second Federation. team.

However, it is also worth taking into account the possibility of the Extremadura team scoring at least one goal. Hernán Cortés already took advantage of his rival’s relaxation when the match was 0-10 to score and Villanovense managed to win 2-1 in the first round against Ibiza, a team from a higher category.

Furthermore, those two Villanovense goals came in the second half, a time when Betis are more vulnerable when playing away, having conceded at least one goal after the break in eight of their 12 away games.
