You have to take advantage of the waves. That's what you should think Imanolan Oriotarra, land of rowers who do not waste a wave to take advantage in the stroke. La Real receives an important rival like Betis in the big game of the day and one of those that in May can define the European positions. The Txuri Urdin are not in a brilliant moment of football and they have comings and goings, ups and downs. That is why, as the coach said at a press conference, it is so important to be effective and be competitive. Take advantage of inertia when it is favorable.
The tables have turned and outside they are having a hard time playing and scoring but at home they have won two in a row against big teams and without conceding a goal. There are no two without three, they say. And there is nothing I want more Imanol to be strong again at home. That's what any success is based on. La Real is tenth with 18 points and is five away from sixth place. The setback at San Mamés somewhat spoils Real's improved results dynamics. They have added six victories in the last nine games in all competitions. There are six points from the last nine and 13 from 21. They are not scandalous figures, of course, but they are better than at the start.
Possible Real-Betis teams

Black beast in Anoeta
Betis is not just any visitor when it plays in Donostia. It has recently become the txuri urdin black beast. Of the last nine meetings between both teams, Real only won the last one, which was decisive in confirming the fifth consecutive European presence of those of Imanol. They attacked Villamarín 0-2. But in the previous six games, Real failed to score a goal and added two painful 4-0 wins, one in the Cup and the other in the League.
The streak becomes even harder at home because the last two victories against Beticos have been in Seville. The Txuri Urdin haven't defeated the Verdiblancos in Anoeta since 3-1 in 19-20. And there have been five more games since then in which Betis always came out smiling more than Real. It is urgent to beat them now. The rivalry generated in these five years also causes an extra incentive and even more desire to win both in the squad and in the stands, where there will be Beticos. The last course Aperribay did not want to send entries to respect the tribute to Atitor Zabaleta. And so it was.
Betis, very touched
It will be a trap visit for Betis, a realistic direct rival all these years. It is the ideal time to delve into the wound that the Green and Whites have open, having just lost by a landslide in Valencia and falling in the Conference against the bottom team, the unknown Boleslav. The faces were a poem yesterday in training and the criticism was fierce.
There are three consecutive league games without winning. They also arrive with a multitude of relevant casualties such as those of Isco, Carvalho, Bellerín, Cardoso, Roca or Fornales. Next to nothing. Although they do recover in time Go away. The more vulnerable they are, the more dangerous they become.
I was not clear about the 'eleven' yesterday Imanol. I was thinking about those who had not yet recovered but surely also about the different images offered by some provocateurs and by other headlines on Thursday. One of the favorites to fall from the starting team does not even make it to the match, Sucicbut there are different unknowns.
Moderate rotation
Men like Turrientes y Barrenetxea They earned the opportunity to start with their impact on the match coming off the bench. The Beasaindarra could celebrate his renewal with an ownership that would cause him Bras o Sergio Gomez they went to the bench. The one from Badalona barely played four minutes on Thursday and aims to return to the team but he could perfectly be a full-back or winger, given the situation. The Galician is not at his best but he is still vital for the Oriotarra.
Barrenetxeafor its part, has an advantage over Becker by a natural rotation. Sergio Gomez I could take away the hole too. Both of them only have to score in the League after doing so in the Cup and Europa League. Oyarzabal y Kubo They seem fixed again despite adding 86 minutes in Europe. It would be a surprise to see Sadiq now, but not ruled out once the physical problems are overcome. Behind the doubt is on the left. Aihen is showing more football than Javi Lopez and I could repeat on the left, but Imanol It has always been about changing sides every three days.
There are fixed
For the rest, there should be no surprises even in the center of the defense, with the black y Aguerd fixed, neither on the right flank with the return of Aramburu, nor on the pivot, with Zubimendi anchored to the grass, nor in two of the attack positions. On Thursday there is a Cup against a Segunda RFEF and there the great rotation will take place thinking about the legs of the pillars.
But first we have to beat Betis, surpass them in the table and not get away from Villarreal, Mallorca, Athletic, Osasuna or Girona.
