José Bordalás and Manuel Pellegrini, two technicians of recognized success but with antagonistic styles, meet today at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, where the leader, Real Betis, will experience a litmus test against the competitive Getafe. The Bordalás team, more direct, and that of Pellegrini, with more predilection for touch, will face each other with the idea of maintaining the good start of the competition with which they currently live calmly in the upper zone of the classification. In the case of Getafe, with a victory and a draw, by two wins and a defeat for the Betis.
Bordalás's pupils do not want to miss the opportunity to get into European positions, everything seems to indicate that the coach will line up a continuation eleven. He could make a change to rest a player due to the shortage of names in a squad that can still be strengthened. However, the foundation seems clear and there will be little touch-up.
Betis, for their part, arrive at the Coliseum 72 hours after their defeat against Real Madrid. The sequel to the game against Zidane's team will be the suspension due to suspension of the Brazilian side Emerson, which has been joined by the last minute of his natural substitute, Martín Montoya, for a positive for coronavirus in his family environment. This circumstance has made Pellegrini summon the youth squad Fran Delgado, who could play in the event that the Chilean does not choose to reconvert one of his centrals.
With the casualties due to injury also certain of Claudio Bravo and Guardado, the Chilean could introduce changes that allow him to manage his troops in the face of the tight schedule, so we must not rule out the presence in the eleven of Aitor Ruibal, Loren or Tello.
