Manuel Pellegrini spoke ahead of the match: "I know Luis well, he's a team that makes his teams play well. The last few results have conditioned him a bit, but he is a team that plays and makes soccer attractive," he said of the Alavés coach. As for Betis, they have improved but "soccer is treacherous in terms of results. In the match against Cádiz we shot many times and the goalkeeper was the figurehead, and it doesn't differ much from what we did against Valencia. When we were in a dynamic of not positive results the team kept calm and the results came".

"It would be ideal if teams didn't score against us. We always try to improve, but we must never forget that there is an opponent in front of us who is also playing. Sometimes it costs a point the last actions and in others you also win. Soccer is treacherous in terms of results with what happens on the pitch".
