🗞️ Team News: Real Valladolid

It seems likely that Pucela could employ a 3-2-4-1 system in the match, handing starts to Karl Hein, Juma Bah, Eray Coemert, Javi Sanchez, Luis Perez, Lucas Rosa, Ivan Sanchez, Stanko Juric, Kike Perez, Anuar and Marcos de Sousa.

🗞️ Team News: Real Betis

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Marc Roca (Ankle injury) and William Carvalho (Achilles heel problems) won’t be making appearances.

It’s our belief that Béticos will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Francisco Vieites, Youssouf Sabaly, Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente, Romain Perraud, Johnny Cardoso, Sergi Altimira, Giovani Lo Celso, Isco, A. Ezzalzouli and Vitor Roque.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Real Valladolid will likely be able to put one past this Real Betis lineup, but a single goal might not quite be enough.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a narrow 1-2 winning score for Real Betis at full-time. Should be an interesting one.
