Betis - Malaga

Match date: 31/10-18:30

Real Betis Balompié

Real Betis head into matchday 11 with the goal of adding three points again at La Cartuja, after a goalless draw against Celta. Pellegrini's side remain entrenched in the top part of the table and want to keep up their good league momentum, even though the calendar offers no respite: next Wednesday they will travel to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, a match that could shape the plans of the Chilean coach.

That is why rotations in several positions are not ruled out, especially among the players who have accumulated the most minutes. Pellegrini will have to strike a balance between keeping a competitive XI against Malaga and saving resources for the important European fixture. In addition, Cucho Hernandez will continue to be sidelined with an injury, so Troy Parrott looks set to take center stage again up front. Players such as Deossa, Valentin Gomez, Ceballos or Lo Celso could have a chance of making the team, depending on the coach's management of workload.

Málaga Club de Fútbol

The boqueron outfit are looking to secure a positive result at La Cartuja, after picking up a point against Alaves in a match that turned Funes' XI upside down. On the one hand, the lineup they could choose for the game is a real unknown, since throughout the season they have shown different tactical setups depending on the opponent and the physical condition of the squad. As a result, the starting XI is also in doubt in the different areas of the pitch. However, players like Larrubia, Alfonso Herrero or Rafita seem to have a fixed place in the lineup beyond possible late changes .

As for the Malaga news for this fixture, the returns of Juan Cruz and Pablo Martinez stand out for the squad, along with the progress of Diego Murillo as he edges closer to a return to the pitch. The next international break could be the turning point for his comeback with the team. However, Malaga will still be unable to call on several players for this matchday, including Diego Murillo, Joaquin Muñoz, Aaron Ochoa and Julen Lobete.
