Betis and Leganes have both achieved seven wins, and they have played three draws, while Betis has one more defeat because they have more match than Leganes. The difference is that Leganes is successful in the Cup and they have passed the quarter-finals, as opposed to Betis, and the difference is that Betis is very efficient, while Leganes is completely opposite. Last season, both teams celebrated on their field in their mutual duels.
Overall, this is a modest season for Betis so far, and they have recently made two valuable victories and this has certainly improved the atmosphere in the ranks of this club. Both times they defeated the Andalusian rivals and this gives a special favour, with the proviso that a triumph over Sevilla is still much more valuable than Malaga. It is always a nice feeling to overcome their city rivals, and this time they have scored five goals at Sanchez Pizjuan and they have interrupted a long series without defeat on their field.
Betis has broke a long series without a victory over Sevilla in the first match, and now they can only hope that this will be the beginning of a positive series. Because of the yellow cards they get in the city derby, now they cannot count on their two standard center-backs, Feddal and Mandi, and Barragan is also questionable on the right side, so the last line is not complete.
Probable lineups Betis Sevilla: Adan – Francis, J.Amat, Tosca, Durmisi – Guardado, J.Garcia, Fabian – Joaquin, S.Leon, Boudebouz
Leganes is playing in their rhythm since the beginning of the season and for the time this game brings quite good results. They are in the middle of the table in the championship and that is quite satisfactory, while they have reached the quarterfinals in the Cup and this is already a success for this team. They had Villarreal for their opponent, which is objectively much stronger, but Leganes has celebrated with 1-0 in their field and that was already a sign that they could pass. They took the lead in rematch and then it was clear that they would hardly receive three goals because they have one of the best defenders of the league this season.
They lost with 2-1 and passed in the quarter-finals, and after a goalless draw with Levante in the championship, they mastered Real Sociedad with 1-0 in front of their supporters. Coach Garitano has again made some changes for the Cup, but Leganes seems to be doing the same with these changes. Now we expect those players who took a breather in the Cup to return to the field, like Zaldue on the right back, Gabriela in the midfield and Amrabata in the attack.
Probable lineups Leganes: Cuellar – Zaldua, Siovas, dos Santos, Garcia – Ruben Perez, Eraso, Gabriel – El Zhar, Beauvue, Amrabat
Betis is in the rush and they want to confirm a victory in the city derby once on their field, but they are weakened in the last line, and Leganes is a very unpleasant rival, so we expect them to use that to their benefit and achieve at least one goal. Betis plays very offensive and they are capable to break the solid defence of their guests.
Pick: both teams to score
