Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis Balompié needs, once and for all, to attack the positions of UEFA Europa League and not allow either Athletic Club de Bilbao or Real Sociedad to get in the way. After two months without losing and with a streak of five victories and the draw against Sevilla, the green and white They must take advantage of their good feelings to get away from the mid-table teams and present a strong candidacy for European positions for the fourth consecutive campaign.
For its part, The team led by Francisco Javier García Pimienta faces the fourteenth league date being 10th and without knowing the defeat since October 22 against the Vallecano Ray. During this time, The island team has achieved victory against Almería, Atlético de Madrid and, in the Copa del Rey, against Manacor.

Situation of both teams
Despite the third and final national team break of the year, everyone remembers Betis’ great form. Nobody remembers the last setbacks two months ago in Barcelona and Glasgow. It is true that has tied with teams, firstinferior, such as Granada, Alavés, Getafe and Cádiz -the latter at home-. The Seville derby on the last day also left better feelings in the helipolitan neighborhood due to the circumstances of a controlled match in which A lot was forgiven and a dear price was paid in the end..
Luckily for the people of Seville, unbeatability extends to all competitions. In the Copa del Rey they advanced to the second round in which They will face Villanovense extremeño, while in the UEFA Europa League they lead group C and this week they could certify their qualification for the round of 16 of the continental competition.
Regarding visitors, Las Palmas Sports Union faces the fourteenth league date comfortably occupying tenth place in the table and with the possibility of attacking the European positions that the Andalusians boast. In Copa del Rey They are still alive after beating Manacor 0-3 and They will have to travel to Navarra to face CD Tudelano and continue being present in two competitions. In the domestic competition they are getting points against unexpected rivals, like the last victory at home against Atleti or against Villarreal at La Cerámica.
If the locals start as favorites in tomorrow’s match, Historical records enhance this favoritism of Sevillians. As a more curious fact, Las Palmas has not won at Villamarín since 1978.

Statements from the technicians
Manuel Pellegrini: “Playing seven games in twenty-one days is already a significant amount, it’s good to stop. The physical aspect deteriorates. There are a lot of games. Pauses are good, the streak does not depend on whether you stop or continue playing, but it depends on the awareness of the team. Hopefully the results continue to be as good as in this streak. Las Palmas is a very difficult rival, they are coming off a good streak and beating Atlético. He knows what he plays, he has a very instilled idea and he carries it out for 90′. It’s attractive football and it’s going to look for matches. We are going to be with a lot of intensity and concentration if we want to add the three points“.
Francisco Javier García Pimienta: “It’s a great game against a rival who is above usas it could not be otherwise, a historic club, and a more than difficult match awaits us, but If we are at our level, we will have a chance to take the three points. I expect a colorful match between two teams that want the ball, attack and create dangerous chances. Although we should make few mistakes, especially due to the quality of the Betis squad. Manuel Pellegrini He is a prestigious coach who has achieved important things with many teams at the highest level.
