🚨 Osasuna-Betis: Pellegrini’s best XI at El Sadar before the return leg | OneFootball

Sunday gets off to a strong start in LALIGA. Real Betis travel to Pamplona to take on Osasuna in a Sunday with plenty at stake for both clubs.

Because both teams share a common objective: breaking into the European places and, in Betis’ case, not falling out of the race for the Champions League. And with that in mind, the starting line-ups have already been confirmed.

Manuel Pellegrini has decided to make major changes to the starting XI, introducing as many as six changes compared to the side that played in Braga last Wednesday.

Álvaro Valles returns to the starting line-up, alongside a reshaped defence in which Bellerín and Diego Llorente provide experience and solidity. Meanwhile, Altimira and Valentín will look to bring greater balance in midfield, while Antony will be tasked with blowing open the Betis attack.

For Osasuna, Alessio Lisci is sticking with the core of the team, but there is one name drawing all the attention: Iker Muñoz.

The academy graduate, who this very week committed his future to the club by signing a contract extension, starts in central midfield, rewarding both his excellent form and his loyalty to the club.

A lovely match to kick off Sunday in Pamplona.
