MADRID, 17 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Betis seeks this Monday in Mendizorrotza (7:00 p.m.) to get closer to the European positions against a Deportivo Alavés that wants to leave the relegation zone, in a ninth day of LaLiga Santander in which RCD Espanyol and Cádiz aspire to climb places in the RCDE Stadium (9pm).
Manuel Pellegrini’s men interrupted just before the break against Villarreal (2-0) a six-game streak scoring between all competitions -five victories and a draw-. In the domestic competition they are tenth with 12 points, just one behind the last of the continental places.
Before playing the leadership of Group G of the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday, the green and white team, with the only absence of Youssouf Sabaly, will try to resume the path of victory against an opponent who needs to add to avoid sinking further in the classification.
The team from Vitoria, which ended against Atlético (1-0) with a streak of five defeats in a row, fell again in their last match against Athletic Club (1-0) and was left with only three units, another three from the salvation zone. Javi Calleja will be able to count on all his men in search of the second victory of the campaign.
Meanwhile, at the RCDE Stadium, Espanyol wants to continue the last victory against Real Madrid (2-1) to try to climb the table. The Blue and Whites are currently thirteenth with nine points, four behind both Europe and relegation.
Without Miguelón, Keidi Baré or Puado and with Aleix Vidal’s doubt, Vicente Moreno’s men receive a Cádiz (7) who drags three dates without winning and who sails two points above the burning positions. In that time, on the other hand, Álvaro Cervera’s team has managed to score points against Barça and Valencia, and hopes to take another leap without the injured Jon Ander Garrido and José Mari.
