Real Betis have made a fine start to their first Champions League campaign in 21 years. They will be targeting three more points when Feyenoord visit La Cartuja on Wednesday.

Betis Regulars to Return Following Rotation

Manuel Pellegrini opted to rest several players as Real Betis sank to a 5-2 home defeat to leaders Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday. Antony and Isco should come in to boost the attack, while Natan and Marc Bartra ought to return in central defence.

Cucho Hernández suffered a calf injury at the weekend, so Troy Parrott will start up front. The Irishman has scored six goals in his past 10 appearances for club and country.

Junior Firpo and Aitor Ruibal are the only other fitness concerns for Betis, who may stick with Ez Abde on the left flank. The Moroccan is in great form with three goals in his last three appearances. He has the pace and skill to trouble Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read.

Real Betis predicted lineup vs Feyenoord (4-2-3-1): Valles; Ortiz, Bartra, Natan, García; Roca, Deossa; Antony, Isco, Abde; Parrott.

Valente and Ferri Leading the Way for In-Form Feyenoord

Giovanni van Bronckhorst also opted for rotation as Feyenoord won 4-3 at Telstar in the Eredivisie. Midfielder Sem Steijn scored twice, but may still lose his place in Seville.

The lineup should be close to the one that started the 3-2 victory over Como in this competition last Wednesday. Luciano Valente suffered some hamstring discomfort in that match, but there was no lasting damage. The 23-year-old has registered four goals and two assists across all competitions this term.

The Dutch outfit are hampered by injuries to Reiss Nelson, Thomas Beelen, Jordan Bos, Jakub Moder and Bart Nieuwkoop. Nacho Ferri, who is averaging a goal every 69 minutes in the Eredivisie, should lead the line.

Feyenoord predicted lineup vs Real Betis (4-3-3): Ernst; Read, St. Juste, Mármol, J. López; Zechiël, Vanhoutte, Targhalline; Moussa, Ferri, Valente.

Real Betis vs Feyenoord Prediction

  • Safe Tip: Over 2.5 goals
  • Odds: 1.35 (22Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Real Betis 3-2 Feyenoord
  • 22Bet Booking Code: 1ZFGB

Key stats:

  • There have been 19 goals scored across the past three Real Betis games in all competitions.
  • Betis’ two Champions League matches so far have each produced five goals.
  • 82% of Feyenoord fixtures this season have produced three or more goals.

With the two coaches favouring an attacking style, an open contest is expected. Betis have quality in attack, with the likes of Isco and Abde sure to trouble the visiting defence, but Los Verdiblancos have kept just one clean sheet in their past seven matches.

The main risk is the visitors dropping deeper to play on the break, but they showed plenty of ambition against Como last week. With five of the six most recent Feyenoord games ending with five goals or more, backing over 2.5 goals is a safe pick at 1.35.
