After such a long break we really should not put too much emphasis on the season results and performances so far, but concentrate on form, fitness, available players. A look at everything below:

At the actual table the teams are tied at 24 points, fighting for a CL-position.

At the performance data however Betis have only 20 points compared to Bilbao's 28!

Betis lost their last league away at Valencia by 3-0, Bilbao on the other hand won 3-0 vs Valladolid.

What has happened during the break?

Betis had several players at Qatar and could not use the break as efficiently they wanted. They played all in all all 6 friendlies, the only win came vs Man Utd by 1-0. In general the opponents were good ones.

Bilbao had only a few players in Qatar and all of them came home early. They played in total 7 games in cup and in friendlies, won them all without conceding one single goal! Admittedly their choice of opponents was from lower leagues apart from two, Valladolid again, and Udinese.

Players missing from Betis are the World Champions Pezzella and Rodriguez, and the injured Edgar, Akoukou and Cruz. What this means is that they lack class in central defense and midfield, especially in defending roles, and there is probably a B team centreback Garreta starting.

The coaches are both experienced and classy, but whereas Pellegrini is suffering with squad problems and their top striker Borja Iglesias leaving the club, Ernesto Valverde at Bilbao have turned them into the fastest team in La Liga who are not only excellent in countering, but also in pressing high up the pitch.

Likely lineups by Marca:

Mentally there are a few things that might have an impact. Betis Luis Henrique's dad died in Brazil but apparently he is still staying in Spain, and at Bilbao a club legend Txetxu Rojo died leaving the whole club and city in tears.

Who to follow?

Canales and Fekir are always a pleasure to the eye at Betis, Borja is playing his final game at Betis.

At Bilbao Guruzeta has come into the starting 11 with a bang scoring for fun, the Williams brothers are the fastest in the league, and Iker Muniain still has the touch and the eye to destroy any opponent.

This should be fun to watch, and if you like a risk with a smaller stake smells like a 0-2, 1-3 in my papers!

经过这么长时间的休息，我们真的不应该过于强调赛季的结果和迄今为止的表现，而应该专注于状态、健康和可用球员。看看下面的一切:

在实际的积分榜上，两支球队在24分的位置上打成平手，争夺一个超级联赛的位置。

但是在表现数据上，贝蒂斯只有20分，而毕尔巴鄂有28分!

贝蒂斯上赛季客场0 - 3输给瓦伦西亚，毕尔巴鄂3-0战胜巴利亚多利德。

休息期间发生了什么?

贝蒂斯在卡塔尔有几名球员，他们不能有效地利用休息时间。他们参加了6场友谊赛，唯一的一场胜利是1-0战胜曼联。总的来说，对手都是不错的对手。

毕尔巴鄂在卡塔尔只有几名球员，他们都提前回家了。他们总共参加了7场杯赛和友谊赛，无一失球!不可否认，他们选择的对手都是来自低级别联赛，除了两个，巴利亚多利德和乌迪内斯。

贝蒂斯缺席的球员包括世界冠军佩泽拉和罗德里格斯，以及受伤的埃德加、阿库库和克鲁兹。这意味着他们在中卫和中场缺乏水准，尤其是在防守角色上，B队的中后卫加雷塔可能会首发。

他们的教练都经验丰富，也都很有水平，但佩莱格里尼饱受阵容问题的困扰，他们的顶级前锋博尔哈·伊格莱西亚斯离开了俱乐部，而毕尔巴鄂的埃内斯托·巴尔韦德已经把他们变成了西甲最快的球队，他们不仅在反击方面很出色，而且在球场上也很有压力。

马卡报可能的阵容:

在精神上，有一些事情可能会有影响。贝蒂斯路易斯·恩里克的父亲在巴西去世，但显然他仍留在西班牙，毕尔巴鄂俱乐部的传奇人物Txetxu Rojo去世，留下了整个俱乐部和城市的泪水。

跟着谁?

卡纳莱斯和费基尔在贝蒂斯总是让人眼前一亮，博尔哈这是他在贝蒂斯的最后一场比赛。

在毕尔巴鄂，古鲁泽塔带着一场有趣的进球进入了首发11人，威廉姆斯兄弟是联赛中速度最快的，而伊克尔·穆尼亚因仍然拥有摧毁任何对手的手感和眼光。

这应该是有趣的，如果你喜欢风险与较小的赌注闻起来像0- 2,1 -3在我的论文!
