Match Facts:
Betis (14th, 15 pts)
- Victor Sanchez del Amo got his Betis reign off to a flyer as his new charges secured a 2-0 home triumph over UD Las Palmas in his first game. However, the Sevillians have failed to build on that win, with their last two outings yielding a 3-1 reverse at SD Eibar and a 3-3 stalemate at home to RC Celta.
- The Verdiblancos have prevailed in just two of their seven LaLiga Santander home fixtures, with their record on their own patch reading two wins, three draws and two defeats.
- Athletic midfielder Beñat Etxebarria, who played for Betis between 2010 and 2013, will be a familiar face to the Benito Villamarin faithful and he'll keen to get one over on his former employers.
Athletic (7th, 23 pts)
- The Basques produced a fine performance in their last LaLiga Santander outing to see off Eibar in a 3-1 success. Beñat set the hosts on their way with a sumptuous free-kick effort, before strikes from Iñaki Williams and Iker Muniain secured the derby spoils.
- Ernesto Valverde would seem to rather enjoy coming up against Betis. In his previous duels against the Sevillians, he has led his sides to five wins and six draws, whilst having tasted defeat in just two of his 13 encounters against the Andalusians.
