Capi believes that Real Betis can move up the table by putting together a good run in January to make up for some poor performances in the games leading up to the festive break.

The Andalucian outfit appeared to be settling into mid-table before stumbling in games against Valencia, Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao saw them slip back to 13th.

Betis' first game of the New Year is against Almería this weekend and Capi is confident that his side can spoil Hugo Sánchez's debut as a coach in Spanish football.

"The Almería players are the same, it is only the coach that has changed," Marca quote him as saying.

"We have had quite a bad month, above all because of the results, and the game against Athletic was a failure but now we have matches in January that will allow us to move up the table and progress in the Copa del Rey.

"The good thing is that we have not had to talk about the relegation zone for some time and the worst thing is that we have let several opportunities to move up to go."
