Preview Real Betis La Liga, Nov 28, 2021
Preview Real Betis picked up a 2-0 win over Ferencvárosi TC on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League to remain in second place with qualification for the next round already secured with a game to spare. Goals from Cristian Tello (5) and Sergio Canales (52’) tipped the scales of victory in Betis’ favor on European soil. Back in Spain, ten-man Real Betis picked up a 3-0 win over Elche at the Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium. The comfortable victory saw Betis stay in 5th place while having 24 points after 7W, 3D, & 4L, and Manual Pellegrini will be on the hunt for a win when Betis makes this appearance against Levante. The club has the form: WWLLW, as they enter into this weekend's fixture. On Sunday, an attacking 4—2—3—1 formation, which could see Borja Iglesias or Willian José leading the attack, is expected. Both players have a combined total of 9 goals this season, with the former having 3, while the latter has bagged 6 this season. Hector Bellerin (red card suspension) is left out of the squad, while Claudio Bravo is ruled out of this fixture. Youssouf Sabaly remains doubtful alongside Víctor Camarasa.
Preview Levante La Liga, Nov 28, 2021
Preview Navigating through troubled waters, Levante will be on the hunt for a point or more when they face Real Betis on Sunday, following the goalless draw against Athletic Club last Friday, the 19th of November, at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. Levante took 15 shots in that game and had 2 on target but failed to convert any of those chances. The draw leaves Levante at the very bottom of the LaLiga table, in 20th place and without a win this season. The club has picked up only two points out of a possible fifteen in the last five games: LDLLD. Javier Pereira continues in search of the club’s first win this season while hoping for a change in fortunes. Levante has 7 points after 0W, 7D, & 7L, with 12 goals so far this season, having conceded 25 times. The numbers leave the club with a massive negative goal difference of -13. A 4—3—3 formation with Jorge de Frutos on the left, possibly playing alongside Roger Martí and José Luis Morales is expected in the attacking end of Javier Pereira’s formation. With the exception of Gonzalo Melero (muscle injury), Javier Pereira will have a fully fit squad to make the selection from ahead of this Sunday’s fixture against Real Betis.
