Betis wants to dream in Europe and compensate for a dubitative year start

MADRID 12 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Betis faces this Thursday (9:00 p.m.) to the Belgian Kaa in the Ghelamco Aren of a Dubitative Year start, where only two victories harvest, before the Belgians who accumulate five consecutive clashes without knowing the defeat.

Betics face this new tie after not finishing homework during the League phase of the competition where it ended in fifteenth position, with 10 of the 18 possible points (3v, 1e and 2d). A classification that certified on the last day thanks to a victory by the minimum against Finnish HJK (1-0), despite a very irregular phase.

To move forward at the Conference, Manuel Pellegrini’s team needs to clear the doubts shown in recent weeks and give his best face. The Verdiblanco team is urgent (0-1). Two victories away from the Benito Villamarín stadium, something that Betis will try to replicate in Belgium to return to Seville with a good result.

Despite facing the tie at the worst time of its season that was certified with the comeback in the League last Saturday against Celta (3-2), the Betics trust that the European match serves as a turning point and the team reacts . That is what a greeniblanco set that starts as a favorite of the tie is grabbed, but where it should not be relaxed.

Although the ‘engineer’ has become accustomed to rotate in this European competition, the Chilean must prepare a recognizable starting eleven if he does not want to be seen outside the tournament at the first exchange. You will not be able to count on the injured Héctor Bellerín, William Carvalho and Pablo Fornals; In addition to the sanctioned Aitor Ruibal.

In the goal, Adrián San Miguel seems to have made ownership at the Conference League with Natan and Diego Llorente, scorer last weekend, at the center of the defense. Marc Roca and Cardoso would strengthen a center of the field where Isco and the brand new signing Antony. In the offensive part, Bakambu will predictably be the only Betic reference, although the Colombian Cucho Hernández could surprise in the eleven.

In front will be the Belgian Kaa that has reaped nine points in the League Phase League League. A team that has stood out in this competition for its great offensive capacity as a result of the eight goals scored in the six games played to date, but is also fragile in defense where it has conceded eight goals.

In addition, the Belgian team arrives with a new coach. The Bosnian Danijel Milicevic took the reins a few weeks ago after the poor performance of the team of the Belgian Wouter Vrancken in the domestic competition where he marches sixth to 20 points of leader KRC Genk. So the operation of the premises will be somewhat different from that of the previous European confrontations.

The Gent accumulates five consecutive clashes without knowing the defeat, with 4 draws and only one victory. The new coach has implemented a new game system with three centrals, instead of a four -back line with which the Belgians had been playing, in the three games that the Bosnium has directed so far. For this meeting, the local team will have the casualties of Vandenberghe, Watanabe, Fadiga, Omgba, Hjulser and Max Dean.
