Real Betis host Ludogorets Razgrad at the Estadio Benito Villamarín this evening in the second round of the Europa League group stage, with kick-off scheduled at 9pm local time.
Los Verdiblancos will hope to continue their winning streak in the competition following their 2-0 victory against HJK Helsinki last week.
Manuel Pellegrini is expected to rotate his team that beat Villarreal over the weekend. Veteran Joaquín will most likely start, while Willian José, who scored twice against HJK Helsinki, should be given the nod ahead of Borja Iglesias.
Claudio Bravo is expected to be between the sticks as the club’s cup goalkeeper. While Nabil Fekir is potentially available, Pellegrini probably will not risk him in this fixture.
AS predict that Pellegrini will field the following starting XI vs Ludogorets Razgrad: Claudio Bravo – Aitor Ruibal, Germán Pezzella, Edgar González, Juan Miranda – Sergio Canales, Paul Akouokou, Joaquín, Andrés Guardado, Rodri – Willian José.
