Betis, a chance for a wake-up call
Real Betis Balompié has not been at its best this season. In fact, it marks one of the tougher spells since Manuel Pellegrini took charge of the side. The Andalusian club sits with nine points from seven games and suffered a Europa League defeat to Rangers in Scotland. A recent draw with Granada, a team positioned near the bottom of LaLiga, underscores the urgency to stop dropping points away from home if Betis hopes to secure European competition next year.
Valencia, riding the optimism of the squad
With limited signings and ongoing institutional tensions, Valencia CF is navigating a period of instability and fan-owner discord while striving to avoid relegation after last season’s scare. Rubén Baraja’s squad sits in tenth place and has delivered strong performances, including a 3-0 win over Atlético at Mestalla. A recent defeat to Real Sociedad last midweek reminds them they must rebound quickly.
Likely lineups for Betis – Valencia
Betis: Bravo; Bellerín, Riad, Pezzella, Miranda; Guido, Marc Roca, Isco; Rodri, Abde and Ayoze.
Valencia: Mamardashvili; Correia, Mosquera, Diakhaby, Özkacar; Pepelu, Javi Guerra, Almeida; Fran Pérez, Diego López and Hugo Duro.
