Team News
Real Betis
Espanyol
- Betis will be without the injured William Carvalho, Isco, and Sabaly, while Vitor Roque and Bartra are unlikely to feature.
- In terms of Manuel Pellegrini's starting lineup, the team is expected to field a competitive eleven, even with players carrying significant physical workloads such as Abde, Lo Celso, Marc Roca, Natan, or Llorente.
- However, the crucial roles these players play might see them retaining their spots in the starting lineup. It appears likely that Altimira, Bellerín, and possibly Ricardo Rodríguez will return to the starting eleven.
- Up front, Bakambu could be given an opportunity, although Chimy Ávila is also a viable option.
- Espanyol arrives at the Villamarín without Edu Expósito and will be monitoring the progress of Cabrera, who was substituted at half-time of Thursday's match due to discomfort in his soleus.
- In the starting eleven, the key change for Manolo González might be Carlos Romero, who was unexpectedly substituted against Villarreal. Sergi Gómez could step into the defense if Cabrera is unable to recover, while Gragera or Aguado could contend for Lozano's position.
