2025-05-18 Diario As

Betis prepares to visit Atlético at the Metropolitano with an eye also on the Conference League. Pellegrini, aware of the importance of controlling the physical load of his players, plans to introduce significant rotations in the starting eleven.

The main objective is for the squad to arrive in optimal condition for the important match on May 28. In goal, Adrián is shaping up as a starter. The defense will present novelties forced by Sabaly’s injury, which could open the door to Ángel Ortiz in the right lane, while Perraud would occupy the left side.

In the center of the rear, Bartra and Natan could have a companion like Mendy. The midfield will also undergo changes. Altimira and William Carvalho aspire to a place in the middle, looking for minutes to recover their best physical shape.

On the wings, Jesús Rodríguez could have the opportunity to play on the right, with Abde as a possible alternative on the left. Lo Celso would be located behind the striker, where Cucho Hernández seems to have an advantage over Bakambu. In short, Pellegrini seeks a balance between competitiveness and physical freshness to face this demanding calendar.
