Team News
Espanyol
Real Betis
- Espanyol has taken 13 from the last 15 available and the victory at San Mamés was their biggest away win for nine years.
- Héctor Moreno scored after an eleven-month wait for a goal, and the centre-back also has two assists this campaign. Barcelona transfer target Kiko Casila will continue in goal.
- Only Juan Forlin is suspended, though that's likely to increase soon given the seven yellow cards the team received last week, with Raúl Baena available to replace the midfielder.
- Pepe Mel's Betis missed a pot full of chances as they were held to a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid.
- Cañas was close to a switch to Swansea in January, however Betis pulled the plug on the deal when they realised the majority of the fee would be spent paying off debts and the midfielder will be back in action here.
- Two yellow cards in eight minutes last time out mean that Antonio Amaya will be suspended for this match, with Mario favourite to deputise.
