Abde hints at weekend surprise as Betis meet Valencia at La Cartuja | OneFootball

Real Betis face Valencia on Sunday at La Cartuja, with Abde back and hinting at something special for the weekend.

According to Superdeporte, he told club media he was keen on the next two fixtures, more so this weekend, with Atlético de Madrid to follow in the Cup.

Valencia arrive buoyed by two league wins, while Pellegrini's side have questions after losing to Alavés.

Since the start of the season Abde has offered steady output and threat from the left, his dribbling and one-on-one ability giving Betis real depth. Goals, assists and decisive actions have followed, and he has grown from occasional option to a player with real weight in the system. Crucially, his end product has improved.

An enforced pause came with the Africa Cup of Nations, where he joined Morocco, leaving Betis without a key wide outlet. He has returned sharper and confident, and marked his comeback with a goal against Feyenoord, underlining his growing influence in demanding European settings.
