Real Betis Balompié

Betis will face the cup clash without Hector Bellerín, out for the second day and confirmed as unavailable. The list of absences grows with Ortiz, Isco, Junior, Cucho Hernández, Abde, and Amrabat, outlining a challenging scenario for the verdiblanco side. Additionally, Abde and Amrabat will be playing the Africa Cup of Nations semifinal between Morocco and Nigeria at the same time, so they will not be available either.

Looking ahead to a match at La Cartuja, the opponent will be Elche, a rival entering the Round of 16 with ambition and demanding the best version of the Betis team. Managing resources and options on the wings will shape the coach's strategy to cover the absences. With so many names out, collective solidity and efficiency in the final third emerge as key factors against the franjiverde team.
