How did Betis approach this fixture?
Manuel Pellegrini arrived at this fourth matchday following a transfer window in which the club made key moves. The close of the transfer period saw the arrival of Dani Ceballos to the Verdiblanco squad. The Chilean manager had requested reinforcements from the club's management, citing the match load from combining domestic league play with participation in the Champions League.
Betis's objective was clear: to defend their home ground at La Cartuja and secure the three points. However, the team faces significant absences in its squad. Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Aitor Ruibal, Diego Conde, Diego Llorente, and Giovani Lo Celso are currently sidelined with injuries, as detailed on the club's injuries list. This situation limits Pellegrini's options for team selection.
