🚨Confirmed XI: Betis make their Copa del Rey debut | OneFootball

Real Betis Balompié visits the modest Atlético Palma del Río CF today in the first round of the Copa del Rey. This match represents a true celebration and a "historic day" for the Andalusian Honor Division club, which will play at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada) due to high demand.

Atlético Palma del Río arrives with high spirits and has shown goal-scoring ability, with their star, striker Sergio León (a former Betis player), as the main attraction. For them, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Real Betis, despite being a La Liga giant, cannot afford any slip-ups. The pressure of the tournament and the obligation to win make this match a test of character. Coach Manuel Pellegrini will have to manage injuries and rotate his usual starting eleven, seeking a convincing victory against a rival from four divisions below. The difference in category is huge, and the key for Betis will be to take the match seriously to avoid any risk of a "Copa del Rey upset."
