Betis will have a solidarity match in Valencia

Betis will play this Saturday at Mestalla a very special match. This is not just a match, as it marks the return to competition of the first team from the area most devastated by DANA almost a month ago.

The previous moments will be very exciting and the Valencian players will be very motivated to carry out the match for those who will no longer be able to watch it in the stands of the Che Coliseum.

Betis one step away from the European zonejoined this wave of solidarity, which must end when the referee whistles for the start of the match, and from now on he can give nothing away if he wants to continue to strive for European positions, before a rival that is at the bottom and has only won once (2-0 over Girona) in the eleven games it has already played.

Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini said adding three points against bottom-placed Valencia “won’t be easy” because “An opponent who competes well on his home field” and who, in addition, “will have an important non-football atmosphere.”

Pellegrini believes that “a month without playing is bad” for the team “because it is losing the rhythm of the competition” and also it happened “for a reason that worries everyone”, such as the hurricane tragedy, “but anyone who thinks” that Betis will “win for this reason” is wrong.

Betis’ biggest last-minute loss will be Pablo Fornals. who was also in excellent form and touched the area of ​​the pitch that suffered the most losses. At least Lo Celso is already one more even after the game with Argentina.
