Badia – Gonzalez, Palacios, Roco – Magallan, Mascarell, Gumbau, Clerc – Ponce, Boye, Fidel

La Liga Standings

Player to Watch: Borja Iglesias
There are a few players who we can see stand out in this match, but since we expect Real Betis to win, our choice as a player to watch is, once again, Borja Iglesias.
It's tough to choose anyone else from Real Betis since Iglesias has been fantastic this season. The Spanish striker has nine goals and three assists in twenty appearances for his team in La Liga, so Elche should be aware of the threat that he poses.
