Deportivo is in the relegation zone and it is clear that they are under the great imperative of victory, while Betis is in the middle of the table, but they are very close to the European positions. The team from La Coruna is very bad and has a series of seven games without a win, with a large number of received goals, and Betis oscillates, but they have not played for a long time played a draw. In the first part of the season, Betis celebrated with 2-1 on their field.
Deportivo is without a win for a long time, they receive a lot of goals and they are sinking lower and lower on the table, so the logical reaction of leader of the club was the replacement of coach Parralo, instead of whom they brought the Dutch expert Clarence Seedorf. They decided on that step after they were defeated in the last round by Real Sociedad with 5-0 in the last round. They are without a win since the beginning of December and it was the seventh game in a row in which they did not celebrate, and they only played two draws in that period.
Of five defeats, three were very convincing against Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Real Madrid (from which they were defeated with as much as 7-1). After a home draw with Levante when they did not keep the 2-0 lead, now the former coach could not count on the suspended Borges and Andone, and they played with their winter boots of Boveda and Krohn-Dehli as well as Albentos and Catabria. The new coach will certainly make some changes, but he will not be able to count on center back Sidney.
Probable lineups Deportivo: Koval – Juanfran, Slbentosa, Schar, Luisinho – Borges, Guilherme – Catabria, Colak, Lopez – Andone
Betis is oscillating and they are recording victories and defeats, and it is interesting that they have not played any draws for a long time. The last unsuccessful result was played at the end of November with Girona (2-2) and from then they were defeated five times and they won four times. They were mostly losing without any goals scored, except for two rounds ago when they were defeated in Vigo by Celta with 3-2, where they were not close to winning one point, because they were constantly catching up with the host advantage.
The worst defeat was the one by Barcelona with 5-0 when they scored all goals in the second half, but it is worth pointing out the away victory against Sevilla in a city derby and the home triumph over Villarreal in the last round. It was 2-1 and both goals were scored by striker Moron, who was brought from their second team, which proved to be a full hit. Center-back Bartra has also had his debut, while the suspended Joaquin was not in the team, and the injured Feddal and Sanabria. They will not be in the team now as well, and they also cannot count on the suspended Barragana, while Joaquin returns, and J.Garcia, Francis and Tello should aslo jump in the team.
Probable lineups Betis Sevilla: Adan – Francis, Bartra, Mandi, Durmisi – J.Garcia, Guardado, Fabian – Joaquin, Tello, Moron
Deportivo is under pressure and they should not lose this match, because they also got a new coach, which could cause a positive shock. Betis is unpredictable and can always surprise, but we do not expect that they could celebrate.
