Betis advanced to Vallecas in their match against Rayo Vallecano. It was in the 7th minute of the game, with an own goal from Balliu after Dimtrievski’s departure. The goalkeeper cleared with his fists but the ball bounced off the neck of the side and slid directly into the local goal. Very unlucky for Rayo and Betis are ahead.
The Andalusian team starts so dominates the match. Let’s remember that the striker Raúl De Tomás overcame some discomfort in the patellar knee and made his debut in a Rayo squad, although he will wait for an opportunity from the bench in this Sunday’s game against Betis, where he returns in his eleventh in the league, centre-back Germán Pezzella, after proclaiming himself world champion with Argentina.
In the Madrid team, the return to the eleven of center-back Alejandro Catena and midfielder Oscar Valentín, who missed the final day due to suspension, were outstanding, and they replaced the Senegalese Pathé Ciss and the Ghanaian which is Abdul Mumin.
Another novelty is the presence in the midfield of Unai López for Santi Comesaña and the entry into the squad of Raúl De Tomás after being registered in LaLiga to compete this week despite returning to the club in September.
Rayo Vallecano plays Dimitrievski; Balliu, Catena, Lejeune, Fran Garcia; Isi, Valentín, Unai López, Álvaro García; Trejo; and camels.
At Betis, the return to the starting eleven is outstanding in the League of the Argentine central defender Germán Pezzella, who played in the Cup three days ago, while his compatriot Guido Rodríguez will await his turn on the bench. Mexican Andrés Guardado will play in his place.
In the Sevillian team, the Ivorian midfielder Paul Akoukou, the Senegalese winger Youssouf Sabaly and the Spanish-Argentine winger Juan Cruz, as well as the Italian-Brazilian central defender Luiz Felipe, who did not play in the Cup in Ibiza due to a pending sanction from his stage at Lazio and that in the League he is serving the first of his two game suspension, after his sending off against Athletic.
Betis form with Rui Silva; Ruibal, Pezzella, Edgar, Alex Moreno; Saved, William Carvalho; Luiz Henrique, Fekir, Channels; and Borja Iglesias.
