Betis take on the visitors Aris in the round 4 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 9th at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla).
The Cucumbers have noticeably improved under Pellegrini. However, their peak was in the season before last, when they finished fifth in La Liga and won the Copa del Rey. The following season, compared to that, was somewhat disappointing. It was thought that the Green and Whites could take advantage of Sevilla's crisis and break into the top four, but they finished sixth instead. Even now, they are performing at roughly the same level, in the European competition spots but trailing the top 4. They started their Europa League campaign with a 0-1 loss to Rangers in Glasgow. However, they subsequently beat Sparta and Aris, confirming their status as favorites in the group overall.

Aris intends to remain the leader in Cypriot football. The Light Brigade has seen a sharp improvement under their current coach, Shpilevsky. Initially, they secured a second-place finish, and in the previous cycle, they claimed their debut championship. Now they intend to defend their title, and they have once again signed Kokorin, who performed exceptionally well here. However, the international competition consumes a lot of energy. In the Champions League, they made their debut by scoring 11 goals in two matches against BATE. But they suffered two defeats against Rakow. In the Europa League, after passing the qualification stage against Slovan (6-2 at home following a 1-2 loss in Bratislava), the Cypriots defeated Rangers in Limassol but lost to Sparta and Betis away, although both times the goal difference was minimal.
Last year, Aris made its debut in European competitions and was eliminated immediately. So, it was only a couple of weeks ago that they traveled to Seville for a match. Experts have no doubt about the victory of the Spaniards. However, Kokorin and his team seem to be underestimated - it's worth taking a look at the +1.5 goals handicap for the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Aris to win with +1.5 scored goals.
