The Betis will face the Barcelona the next 12th of January in the second semifinal of the Spain Supercup. A tournament that you want in Heliopolis because it is the shortest way to achieve a titlesince we only need to dispute two partiesalbeit at a very high level. But as in all clubs, the daily bread is the League and at Villamarín they don’t want the Super Cup to weigh down the path of Pellegrini’s men.
However, the precedents dictate that in the Betis they can be more than calm. You just have to look back at last season, where on the same dates the draw for the Copa del Rey He brought a derby with all that this entails in Seville. And with everything that he entailed afterwards. But as far as results are concerned, the Betis solved the month of January with seven points of possible nine: thrashed against Espanyol and Alavés and draw against Ray.
Also, the calendar It seems affordable on paper next January. The Ray will be the toughest opponent, since the other two matches that Betis will play after the Super Cup will be against two teams from the lower zone such as Spanish and the Getafe. The January slope does not seem as steep as one might suppose.
