Betis expected XI for home bow against Real Sociedad | OneFootball

Real Betis make their home bow at La Cartuja and are set, almost certainly, to start both new signings. According to AS, Fran García is in line to debut at left-back, with Facundo Bernal joining the double pivot.

Álvaro Valles should start in goal. Héctor Bellerín is expected to return at right-back after shaking off the ankle issue that ruled him out of the final pre-season friendly. The centre-backs are set to be Bartra and Natan, despite ongoing exit rumours around the Brazilian.

Marc Roca is slated to partner Bernal on the latter’s debut. That would push Fornals on to operate behind Cucho Hernández.

The wings are earmarked for Antony and Riquelme. Riquelme has a strong case to start given his pre-season minutes, while Abde has not even made the squad, which boosts Riquelme’s chances of playing the full match.

Isco is in the squad but not for 90 minutes, so he is likely to await his chance from the bench.
