Fans of Betis do not pay attention to the position of the team in the standings or pay little attention. The situation has changed in the new season. Manuel Pellegrini’s wards managed to score 10 victories in 23 rounds and drew three times, which brought 33 points and seventh place. The distance to the European competition zone is only three points. The worst performance of the team in the defense line cannot be noted, which conceded the most in Spain, that is 38 times. After a draw with Real Sociedad (2:2) Betikos lost once and won twice over Osasuna (1:0) and Villarreal (2:1). Out of the 31 goals scored by the team seven were scored by Canales. In the Spanish Cup the white-greens made it to the quarterfinals, defeating UCAM (2:0), Multivera (3:1), Sporting Gijon (2:0) and Real Sociedad (3:1) etc.). In the quarter-finals the team lost to Athletics (1:2). As part of the owners will not be able to enter the field of Bartre, Camaras, Lyens and Martin, who has an injured knee.
The Nets have already climbed to second place in the standings and are ahead of only Philadelphia. The team is doing a good job of the task, although there is nothing surprising here, because the management has brought together James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in one place. By the way, we will not see the latter on the floor since the 32-year-old striker has a sprained hamstring on his left leg. Despite this, Brooklyn managed to fight Phoenix in the previous fight (128-124). James Harden has once again shown his professionalism, having issued a double-double. Bookmakers have given the “networks” the status of an outsider, but given the mood and form that the team has gained recently, it is clearly not necessary to underestimate Steve Nash’s charges.
