Probable Lineups

Team News

Real Betis

• Following the aftermath of last weekend’s horror show in the derby, Real Betis have no less than three players suspended for this game.
• In addition to suspensions, Damien Perquis, Nosa and Braian Rodriguez remain sidelined through injury.

Rayo Vallecano

• Rayo Vallecano, like their hosts, have a number of players out due to injuries and suspensions.
• Following his red card last weekend, Ruben Martinez sits this one out as does Anaitz Arbilla after racking up one too many yellow cards.

Match Facts

• Real Betis have been losing at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in La Liga.
• Real Betis have lost 6 of their last 7 matches in La Liga.
• Real Betis have conceded at least 3 goals in their last 3 matches in La Liga.

Prediction

• Fourteen games into the season and with Real Betis rounding out the table, times are slowly getting more desperate.
• Last weekend’s hiding at the hands of city-rivals Sevilla will have done nothing to erase the growing self-doubt amongst the Betis players.
• Morale is low in the camp and despite their lowly position, Rayo are tipped to secure their second successive away league win.
