Real Betis will try to achieve this Thursday in Frankfurt what they have never achieved to date: overcome a tie in European competitions away from home after losing the first leg at the Benito Villamarín, which they did 1-2 against Eintracht last week in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.
Probable alignments Eintracht-Betis
The results achieved away from Seville by Betis since 2022 started (six wins and one draw) and those of Eintracht at home (four losses and one win) do not make the task unreasonable, in which Pellegrini’s men will put all their efforts to to stay alive in all three competitions, after reaching the Copa del Rey final and keeping their chances of playing in the Champions League intact with last Sunday’s win against Athletic, which ended a streak of five games without a win.
To achieve the comeback it will be key to keep a clean sheet and score the first goal. When Betis has done it, they have won 89% of their games, 19 of 22 this season, which is why Pellegrini has insisted on his men to maintain defensive concentration so as not to give the Germans as many opportunities as in the first leg, of the that the Betis came out despite this very much alive.
