PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
REAL BETIS
 Fabrizio Nelson, Paulao, Dorado, Nacho Sevilla, Iriney, Benat Jonathan, Castro, Montero |
REAL MADRID
 Casillas Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo Khedira, Xabi Alonso Ozil, Kaka, Ronaldo Higuain |
With Antonio Amaya sidelined through injury, Paulao is expected to partner Chechu Dorado in the defence although Ustaritz may be considered after Betis' recent defeat to Levante.
The Andalusian side have competition for places in attack although Jefferson Montero and Jonathan Pereira are expected to be chosen to support Ruben Castro upfront with young playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo ruled out.
Real Madrid will be without the injured Angel Di Maria and Fabio Coentrao while Ricardo Carvalho is unavailable through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.
However, his compatriot Pepe returns after receiving the same punishment and is expected to partner Sergio Ramos in the centre of defence. Karim Benzema is unlikely to play, although he is near fitness and could feature against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.
Lassana Diarra and Hamit Altintop have shrugged off knocks yet neither is likely to start the game with Sami Khedira set to hold onto his place in the centre of midfield.
