Manuel Pellegrini spoke before the match against Rayo Vallecano: "I can be worried about everything because we face a rival that has been having a great season, a team that plays the same way against everyone. Spanish soccer is very even in all matches and just because we're playing at home we can't think that the match is won".

"They are two different opponents and two different characteristics. We are going to try to play our soccer, although there is always a rival in front of us that sometimes doesn't let you play the way you want to play. We're going to try to be the Betis we've always been."

"I see him with the experience he has and an important role in the squad. When he comes in, when he plays as a starter or when he doesn't play. He maintains that role, experience is very important and he knows how to transmit it to the squad."

"We are rotating throughout the season in all positions, that's why we have been able to still be in the three competitions. Tomorrow in that aspect we will give the formation, but it is going to start with Claudio Bravo and the other 10 may be doubts."

"It is a very important match because it will allow us to have the possibility of playing for two titles, the Copa del Rey and then the Supercopa. It is not an instance in which Betis is every year so the achievement is important. The rest of the season has been full of very good moments, very good games, a very good position in the table, but we are trying to achieve things and tomorrow's is of course one of them".

Rayo Vallecano has not had a good season, being placed in 12th position in the general table of LaLiga, in addition, they have accumulated five consecutive lost matches, so they will seek to redeem themselves in front of their people with this match.

Betis arrives after losing two goals to one against Sevilla, which is why the team led by Pellegrini will be looking for a victory and to play in the final, in order to give their fans a great joy.

In the first leg semifinal, Betis won the match two goals to one, however, Rayo Vallecano will try to turn the score around and qualify.

The Betis vs Rayo Vallecano match will be played at the Benito Villamarin Stadium, located in Seville, Spain. The stadium has a capacity for 60,720 people.
