Tomorrow "Kryvbas" will play an important return match of the Conference League playoffs away from home against "Betis". The opponent won the first match - 2:0. After the face-to-face match, the teams had time to play their calendar matches in the championships.
"Kryvbas" lost two points at home against UPL debutant "Ingulets" - 1:1. And "Betis" could not beat "Alavés" away - 0:0. Pellegrini's team continues to go without a win in La Liga - two draws in the opening two rounds. Our team arrived in Seville yesterday evening and will have a traditional pre-match training session today.
The upcoming meeting is important for both teams. "Kryvbas" will try to overcome this barrier and make it to the group stage, but for this they need to win by more than one goal. "Betis" is an experienced European Cup fighter, for whom relegation will be a failure, so, one can not doubt, the opponent is determined. A real battle awaits us. We believe in red and white until the end.
