Betis can finally call on the services of Isco Alarcon for the first time in seven months, although he will not start at the Benito Villamarin. Aitor Ruibal is expected to be recalled by Manuel Pellegrini from last weekend's defeat to Real Sociedade, while Barcelona veterans Ez Abde and Vitor Roque are also set to feature in the line-up.
