Betis comes motivated for this match, after two consecutive matches without lose, and one of these matches was a triumph against Valencia. In this match the Juan Merino coach will chooses the same tactical system last match, that is, the 4-4-2, with Wolfswinkel and Rubén Castro the responsible for releasing the panic on the Gijon’s defensive line. However, it must be observed that the home team has some difficulties in finishing and in the air play. For this match the coach won’t count on Piccini and Joaquín because they’re recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Adán, Martín Montoya, Juan Manuel Vargas, Germán Pezzella, Bruno, Petros, Charly Musonda Jr, Alfred N'Diaye, Foued Kadir, Rubén Castro, Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
Coach: M. Pellegrini.
