Betis tries to stop its decline
“The Greens” were able to win the Spanish Cup under the leadership of the current coach. And they climbed to 5th place in the Primera. Still, “the White and Greens”, instead of taking the next step, lost the ground in 2022/2023. This time, they lost to modest Alaves at the beginning of January; speaking about the Europa League, the team, due to a poor outcome of the group stage, finished in 3rd place in the quartet. As a result, the Spanish club had moved to the Conference League now. There it lost to Dinamo Zagreb with a 0-1 result at the home arena and, having opened the score in Croatia, allowed the opponent to win back, eventually being relegated. At the same time, it turned out to improve the performance in the Primera. Still, Alaves held out a 0-0 draw in the previous round in Seville.
Athletic is showing excellent results in the current season
“The Basques” reunited with Ernesto Valverde in the summer of 2022. And as for the previous temporada, although it brought progress, the team was not so successful. Still, “the Ant” continued its systematic work, and now it is yielding good results. For instance, the semi-final of the Copa del Rey brought a 1-0 success in the first match against Atlético in Madrid. Speaking about the Primera, the representative of Bilbao is trying to struggle with “the Mattress Makers”. On Monday, they managed to win the shoot-out against Girona, scoring 1 goal more than Tsygankov and the company – that match at San Mames ended with a 3-2 result, so the status quo in the dispute for 4th place was preserved.
