📆 Fixture congestion: Betis face six matches in just 22 days | OneFootball

Real Betis is preparing for a demanding schedule of six matches in just 22 days, a true marathon that will test the depth and endurance of their squad. From today until the next international break in October, the verdiblanco team will face a tour de force with high-caliber opponents both in La Liga and the Europa League.

The Challenges of La Liga

The league journey begins with a visit to Levante UD, a team that is always tough to beat on their home turf. It will be vital to start off on the right foot to face the next home match against Real Sociedad with confidence, one of the most in-form teams in the league. A high-voltage encounter in which the fans, at the Estadio de La Cartuja, will be a decisive factor in pushing their team forward.

Afterwards, they will host a always tenacious Osasuna before closing this first phase of the marathon with a trip to Barcelona to face RCD Espanyol, a direct rival in the fight for European spots.

The European Adventure

In the Europa League, Betis will defend their group lead in two key matches. First, they will play at home against Nottingham Forest, a team that has proven to be a tough opponent. The second match will be away against Ludogorets, a long trip and an opponent that always competes at a high level in their stadium.

A Puzzle for the Coach

The demanding schedule is compounded by an injury list with key names, which will force the coaching staff to juggle the lineup. The long-term absences of Ruibal and Isco are a heavy blow for the team. The absence of Ricardo Rodríguez, who was injured with his national team, and the discomfort of Marc Bartra further complicate the defensive outlook. Added to this is the uncertainty of Ez Abde's physical condition, who could return to action after his injury.
