Real Betis will visit the Riazor stadium on Sunday after more than eight years of absence, due to Deportivo La Coruña's long journey in the Segunda, Segunda B and Primera RFEF competitions. Manuel Pellegrini's side arrived in high spirits, looking to claim a fourth straight win before the international break. If they are successful, this victory could move Betis into second place in the standings, provided that Real Madrid does not win in the derby against Atlético Madrid which takes place just before kickoff in La Coruña.
Deportivo, who have just been promoted, face a tough challenge with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang impressing. The 37-year-old scored five goals in the first five games, making him one of the team's key players. However, Deportivo's performance was halted after they lost 0-1 at home to Sevilla FC in the last match, where they lost Angeliño to a red card early in the second half, so he could not play against Betis.
Coach Antonio Hidalgo revealed that several of his players had been exposed to the virus and were doubtful about appearing. In recent training, Amatucci and Aubameyang, who are regular starters, did not train with the team, so it was uncertain whether they would be ready to play against Betis. Meanwhile, Betis is also certain to make a number of changes to the line-up, considering that Pellegrini has a deep squad and can be relied on in almost all positions.
Pellegrini is expected to change more than half the team compared to the game against Getafe, where two reserve full-backs started - Ortiz and Junior. He will return core players such as Bellerín and Fran García who are more unified, especially in attack, along with wingers Antony and Abde, who were Betis' offensive mainstays last season and are slowly finding their sharpness again.
Deportivo have so far recorded one draw (against Elche), one win (against Valencia) and one defeat (against Sevilla) in their three home matches. This match against Betis is a big challenge for Deportivo, who are trying to recover and improve their position in the standings. Betis themselves are looking for a win to ensure the best league start in their history - six wins and one defeat, equal to their achievement in 1935. If they achieve victory, it could be a positive return from the international break in a series of games at La Cartuja, where they are yet to lose.
What happened next
Deportivo will try to recover from their previous defeat and improve their performance in the EA Sports LaLiga. Meanwhile, Real Betis is expected to be able to utilize the depth of their squad to rotate players and remain competitive. With several Deportivo players doubtful, the outcome of this match could have a significant impact on their season outlook.
