Manuel Pellegrini he needs that Real Betis be strong at home to boost their chances of getting into the Champions League, now that their only competition is LaLiga. And that happens by winning this Sunday against Majorcawho chained five straight defeats from his stadium and did not know a victory against the Verdiblanco team for more than ten years.
“We have to be strong at home. We have 21 visiting points and 21 at home, but at home we have to be stronger and not let the points slip. Betis’ choices this Sunday do not mean to see what was done of Mallorca in the matches We have to play a very complete match to win it, and for that we have to be aware of the counterattacks and their passing game. It is difficult to score goals and they defend very well”, said Pellegrini this Saturday about in the Balearic team and the strength of his team at home.
Pellegrini confirmed the absence of Abner, who joins the injured Fekir and Luiz Felipe, as well as the suspended Luiz Henrique, while Juan Cruz is also absent: “Just before the absence of Abner, who had a muscle injury but not so “Important. He is not allowed this week, but at the break he will be ready. Luiz Henrique, who is suspended, Luiz Felipe, who is injured, along with Nabil”, said Pellegrini.
The dream of the Champions League is between the eyebrows of the Betic coach: “This team always has the illusion and is convinced to go as far as possible. We will try until the end. We will try to add as much as possible can and then we will see which one allows us. It is important to play in Europe for the third year in a row, which has not been achieved, and we will look for it until the last game”.
The lack of punch, pending topic
Betis have scored just two goals in the last four games and the Chilean coach was asked if there was a lack of punch: “The numbers indicate so. We only had one goal against Villarreal and Manchester. Two goals in four games are few, I think we had chances to score more goals, but the football is full. In the past we had the second best defense in the championship, now we are a bit more balanced. We have to maintain balance and aim to improve based on our game”.
