Real Betis - Malaga

Real Betis approach this matchday 11 encounter following a mixed run of results, including a hard-fought draw against Celta Vigo and a narrow Champions League victory over Feyenoord. While their recent form has seen high-scoring affairs, such as the 5-2 win over Osasuna, they must navigate this fixture without the suspended Facundo Bernal and the injured Juan Hernandez. The expected XI, featuring Isco and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, will aim to find consistency at Estadio de La Cartuja.

Conversely, Malaga arrive in search of momentum after a 3-0 Copa del Rey win against Sporting de Alcazar helped steady their campaign following a difficult LaLiga stretch. With Joaquin Munoz, Pablo Martinez, and Juan Cruz all sidelined by injury, the visitors rely on a squad led by Alfonso Herrero and Adrian Nino to challenge their hosts. The last competitive meeting between these sides saw Real Betis secure a 2-1 victory in April 2018.
