Betis started running again after a period of slowdown, the Anadalusians had lost three games in a row between the end of November and the beginning of December, including the one in the Conference League against Mlada Bolesav. The crisis was around the corner but the Seville team managed to react and after the victory with the Copa del Rey they first drew with Barcelona and then won against Petroclub and Villarreal. Two important successes in terms of rankings both in Europe and in La Liga.
Betis have won three of their last four matches
Hjk finished the championship on 19 October, from that day on they only played in the Conference League, beating Dinamo Minsk and then losing to Olympia Lubjana and Panathinaikos and drawing with Molde. To try to maintain the pace of the match, the Finns are playing some friendlies, but the feeling is that it is not enough to try to stop Betis.
Betis is in the midst of an injury emergency, Marc Roca, Juanmi, Silva, Fornals, Bellerin and Carvalho, almost all starters, will most likely not be there. Isco could play at the center of the trio of attacking midfielders as he is getting back into shape after many physical problems. In attack, it’s a battle between Vitor Roque, who scored against Villarreal, and Bakambu, who scored against Petroclub.
On the outside Diao and almost certainly Avila who is disqualified for the next La Liga match. Probable space in the middle of the defense for the former Napoli player Natan who seems to have been reborn in Spain, on the left the former Torino player Rodriguez.
Betis in full injury emergency
It is likely that HJK will confirm the 4-5-1 with which they faced Molde to try to block the way for the clearly stronger Betis. Erwin, who scored against Molde, will play in attack. It remains to be seen whether Kocku or Meriluoto, more offensive and scorer of the 2-2 goal in the last round of the Conference League, will be chosen again in midfield. The Finns should arrive at the match in full force.
It will be a difficult evening for the Finns who risk being overwhelmed by a much stronger team. The Spaniards cannot make discounts because they have to make up ground and even the goal difference counts in the event of a tied finish. It is therefore difficult for them to let a team with little quality score and who will probably play with just one striker, thus causing little trouble to a good defense. Our Betis HJK forecast is: No Goal
