This isn’t an easy game for Betis but I believe they should win.

Firstly, because some players couldn’t have been inscribed due to the budget limit for the team (they need to sell more players or ask for a credit to inscribe them). Some reserves like Joaquin, Guardado, William Jose and Claudio Bravo, as well as the new transfers Luiz Henrique and Luiz Felipe and Marc Bartra, who already confirmed his transfer to Turkish team.

This means that Betis will be forced to call some youngsters to complete the squad, because they also have 4 injuries: Canales, Montoya, Camarasa and Sabaly.

But anyway, the lineup is pretty strong. Only Canales is a very important player, but the team still has quality in the midfield and attack with Fekir. Sabaly is also a starter but he will be well replaced by Ruibial. The problem will be on the bench, where coach Pellegrini will have few options to increase the level of the team. But the lineup will be pretty strong, almost the best one and with very important players ready (Fekir, Borja Iglesias, Juanmi, Carvalho, Guido, Alex Moreno…).

Betis has strong ambitions this season, their target is to qualify to the Europa League again. They have a great squad, coach and chemistry. They are also a very strong home team.

On the other hand, Elche has some problems too. They have a very weak squad, and today will be missing 6 players due to injuries. Between those players are the best defender (Verdu) and best player - topscorer Lucas Boye.

They are among the candidates to be relegated this season as they have a weak squad without good transfers to increase their level.

This match will be dominated by Betis, who should be able to easily beat a team which on paper, is several steps below. Elche will try to defend and score some goal on counters, but Betis already knows how to defend that and has many alternatives upfront to score goals, thanks to the quality and creative players like Fekir or Carvalho.

Last season Elche won 0:1 at Betis’ stadium but that was because Betis played with reserves, because that game was just before the Spanish Cup final. Last year Betis only lost points at home against top/strong teams, and they used to beat relegation-weak teams; while Elche only took points from stadiums of weak/relegation teams. And this season I’m expecting the same from both sides.

这对贝蒂斯来说不是一场轻松的比赛，但我相信他们应该赢。

首先，由于球队的预算限制，一些球员无法入选(他们需要出售更多的球员或要求积分来入选)。一些预备队如华金、瓜尔达多、威廉·何塞和克劳迪奥·布拉沃，以及新援路易斯·恩里克、路易斯·费利佩和马克·巴特拉，他们已经确认转会到土耳其球队。

这意味着贝蒂斯将不得不招募一些年轻球员来充实阵容，因为他们还有4人受伤:卡纳莱斯、蒙托亚、卡马拉萨和萨巴利。

但不管怎样，阵容还是很强大的。只有卡纳莱斯是一个非常重要的球员，但球队在中场和进攻上仍然有质量的费基尔。萨巴雷也是首发球员，但他将被瑞比亚尔很好地取代。问题将出现在替补席上，佩莱格里尼教练没有多少选择来提高球队的水平。但阵容将会非常强大，几乎是最好的一个，有非常重要的球员准备(费基尔，博尔哈伊格莱西亚斯，胡安米，卡瓦略，圭多，亚历克斯莫雷诺…)

贝蒂斯本赛季有很强的野心，他们的目标是再次获得欧联杯的资格。他们有一个伟大的球队，教练和化学反应。他们也是一个非常强大的主队。

另一方面，埃尔切也有一些问题。他们的阵容很弱，今天将有6名球员因伤缺阵。他们中间是最好的后卫(维尔杜)和最好的球员——头号射手卢卡斯·博伊。

他们是本赛季降级的候选者之一，因为他们的阵容很弱，没有很好的转会来提高他们的水平。

这场比赛将由贝蒂斯主导，他应该能够轻松击败一支纸面上的球队，而下面是几个步骤。埃尔切会尝试防守并在反击中进球，但贝蒂斯已经知道如何防守，并且有很多前场进球的选择，这要感谢像费基尔和卡瓦略这样有质量和创造力的球员。

上个赛季，埃尔切在贝蒂斯球场0:1获胜，但那是因为贝蒂斯是预备队，因为那场比赛就在西班牙杯决赛之前。去年贝蒂斯只在主场对阵强队时丢分，而且他们曾经击败过保级弱队;而埃尔切只从弱旅或保级球队的球场拿分。本赛季我对双方都有同样的期待。
