A relaxing game in Benito Villamarin

Betis lost their last hopes for a European ticket since their disappointing performance led to a huge 4-0 loss in Levante's home. Now they are 7 points away from the 7th place and they have no actual points motivation in their remaining 4 games. The amazing midfielder G. Lo Celso and central defender Z.Feddal served their suspension and they will probably be in the first eleven. 

Espanyol played a 1-1 draw with Celta at home and vanished any hopes for their participation in next seasons European competitions. Despite their good start and their lead at the first half, their opponent were superior and the final draw was the deserved outcome in that game. They are 7 points away from the 7th place as well as their current opponent, so there is no motive for them for the rest of the season. Central defender Naldo was injured in the midweek game so he won't perform tonight as well as attacking midfielder Granero due to yellow card suspension. Javi López, R.Rosales and P.Piatti won't be in contention once again.

None of these two teams have a realistic goal for the rest of the season. The 7th place far away for both of them now. Betis' coach will probably make a rotation as their performance in the midweek game vs Levante was quite disappointing. On the other hand, Rubi won't have many key players available tonight. I expect both teams to score tonight, over 2.5 goals will be my call.
