Betis have had a disappointing period. In recent meetings, the defense made not many mistakes, but they were fatal. First they missed a draw with Mallorca, and then at the beginning of the game they were not ready for Las Palmas’ attack. Betis have seven goals scored and the same number of goals conceded. They need to improve in attack if the hosts want to strengthen the game.
Espanyol are unlikely to qualify for the European Cup, the goal for the season is to avoid a grueling fight for survival. For this purpose, it is not necessary to beat the grands, it is enough to take points at home against opponents of equal strength.
Betis must improve. The team has a great Le Celso in full order, who will create problems for the opponent. Pellegrini will probably adjust the game in defense, as this is a specialist of high level. It is unlikely that the home team will defeat the visitors, but they can score a minimal victory.
