Betis
Saturday’s football game at RCDE Stadium pits together Espanyol and Real Betis, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the remainder of the season. Los Periquitos did well to beat Getafe on the road on Matchday 17, with the team climbing to 14th place in the standings, but their La Liga status is still in great danger. The Catalans are eager to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the match. Defender Brian Olivan is back from suspension, while Keidi Bare remains on the sidelines with injury.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, defeated Rayo Vallecano at the weekend to put an end to their three-game winless run. The Andalusians are eager to climb to the Champions League berth, but beating Espanyol in Barcelona is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the horizon in this one. The good news for the away side is that defender Luiz Felipe is back from suspension.
