It's no vacation for neither Eibar nor Real Betis as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Real Betis, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

Relegation threatens SD Eibar who should definitely be looking for some points here. Betis are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
