Manuel Pellegrini has been making quite a few changes from one game to another since the month of January began with the qualifiers of the Copa del Rey and this Thursday will maintain the trend in the clash of the quarterfinals against the Athletic, which are played on Thursday as a single match in the Benito Villamarin.

For the decisive appointment against the Bilbao team, the Betic coach recovers Guido Rodríguez, who has missed the last three games due to muscular discomfort, and will surely give ownership to players like Miranda, William Carvalho, Aitor Ruibal or Borja Iglesias, who have not enjoyed it in recent games.

Canales, Fekir and Mandi are currently the only Betis footballers who are playing it all and have the vitola of indisputable headlines, while Joel Robles -because of Claudio Bravo’s injury-, Emerson and Víctor Ruiz follow them in the preferences of the Chilean coach, who usually changes five six players per game, although those mentioned are playing almost everything.

For this Thursday’s appointment against Athletic, the starting eleven of Real Betis can be made up of: Joel Robles, Emerson, Mandi, Víctor Ruiz, Miranda; Guido Rodríguez, William Carvalho; Aitor Ruibal, Fekir, Canales; and Borja Iglesias.
