Betis - form analysis: The fight for European competition continues
The "Green-and-Whites" gradually lost ground after their peak in 2022, where they won a cup and secured fifth place in La Liga. The regression continued this season, risking ending outside the European competition zone. This was especially noticeable after four consecutive defeats in March. However, they bounced back with wins against Celta Vigo and Valencia, both ending 2-1. They also drew with Sevilla at home but secured a victory against Osasuna away, winning 2-0.
Almeria - form analysis: Relegation is already confirmed
The "Red-and-Whites" performed well last season after returning to La Liga. However, a coaching change in the summer resulted in a decline, making them the worst team in La Liga, with only a handful of points throughout the season. They did show some improvement from mid-February to early April, including a win against Las Palmas in March. But they struggled against Real Sociedad, Villarreal, and Getafe, losing despite scoring against them. They managed to win against Rayo Vallecano away in the last round.

Experienced players like Bartra, Bellerin, and Chimi Avila may only attend the match as supporters, as they are all injured.
