Real Betis vs Kryvbas Prediction
Los Verdiblancos have enjoyed an unbeaten run in all competitions this season, with two games ending in draws. They have kept clean sheets in their last two games and will look to build on their defensive form.
Pellegrini made as many as seven changes to the starting XI in their La Liga meeting against Alaves and is again expected to make some changes here. Nabil Fekir is on his way out of the club while Marc Bartra and Chimy Ávila will not play due to minor injuries.
Kryvbas have endured a poor run of form recently, with just one win in their last six games. They have failed to score in three games in that period, which is a cause for concern. One confirmed change in their starting XI will be the striker Prince Kwabena Adu, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Considering the current form of the two teams and home advantage for Betis, the hosts are expected to eke out a narrow win.
