Real Betis Key Players
Real Betis, under coach Manuel Pellegrini, rely heavily on the creative talents of players like Isco and Antony. Isco has become a standout player this season, impressing especially in the win over Real Madrid, where he scored the decisive penalty.
Antony is another key figure, having rejuvenated his career at Betis with two goals and two assists in five appearances. He’s keen to stay permanently and aims to use Betis as a stepping stone to the Brazil national team.
The expected lineup for Real Betis includes:
- Goalkeeper: Adrian
- Defenders: Youssouf Sabaly, Diego Llorente, Marc Bartra, Ricardo Rodriguez
- Midfielders: Sergi Altimira, Isco, Johnny Cardoso
- Forwards: Antony Matheus dos Santos, Cucho Hernández, Jesús Rodriguez
Key individual battles are expected to include Betis’ forwards against Las Palmas’ Jasper Cillessen, who has been crucial for them.
Real Betis Suspensions & Injuries

| Marc Roca | Foot injury | Mid March 2025 |

Recent Form: DLLLL
Las Palmas have averaged only 0.8 goals per match in their last 5 games and have not kept a single clean sheet during this period.
This lack of defensive solidity and goal-scoring prowess has seen them remain firmly in the relegation battle. Their next challenge against Real Betis will be a tough one.
Las Palmas Key Players
Las Palmas will be relying on their key players to make an impact against Real Betis, especially given their current form struggles. Scheduled to start are players like Sandro Ramirez, their top scorer with 8 goals this season, and Oliver McBurnie, who will try to challenge the Real Betis defense.
Expect key individual battles, such as Sandro Ramirez facing off against Real Betis’ Diego Llorente. These matchups could define the game’s outcome.
Expected lineup for Las Palmas:
- Goalkeeper: Jasper Cillessen
- Defenders: Victor Álvarez Rozada, Juanma Herzog, Alex Suárez, Álex Muñoz
- Midfielders: Dario Essugo, José Campaña, Javi Muñoz
- Attackers: Sandro Ramirez, Fábio Silva, Oliver McBurnie
With multiple injuries and suspensions, depth will be tested.
Las Palmas Suspensions & Injuries
| Player | Injury | Expected return |
|---|---|---|
| Kirian Rodríguez | Virus | Doubtful |
| Marvin Park | Muscle injury | Mid March 2025 |
| Andy Pelmard | Thigh injury | Mid March 2025 |
| Mika Mármol | Ankle injury | Mid March 2025 |
| Player | Suspension | Expected return |
| Alberto Moleiro | Yellow cards | 1 match left |
| Scott McKenna | Red card | 1 match left |
Las Palmas are facing a challenging situation with several injuries and suspensions impacting their lineup. Key defenders like Mika Mármol and Andy Pelmard are sidelined, potentially weakening their defensive structure.
Adding to their woes, suspensions for Alberto Moleiro and Scott McKenna further strain the squad. These absences mean coach Diego Martinez will need to get creative with his tactics and player deployment.
Such a depleted team will find it even harder to halt Real Betis’s potential dominance.
Las Palmas Tactics and Formation
Las Palmas Tactical Breakdown:
- Formation: 4-2-3-1
- Key Forward: Oliver McBurnie
- Midfield Trio: Sandro Ramirez, Javi Munoz, Fábio Silva
- Defensive Strength: Despite recent issues, expect a compact backline with Jasper Cillessen offering vital experience.
Las Palmas often adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to solidify the midfield with Dario Essugo and José Campaña anchoring the team.
Sandro Ramirez, starting on the right wing, provides the attacking thrust, while Javi Munoz operates centrally, linking play.
Unfortunately, defensive frailties have been visible, having conceded 44 goals this season. With multiple key defenders out, expect a disciplined but cautious approach, focusing on exploiting counter-attacks, particularly in the final 15 minutes, where they have been most successful.
