Claudio Bravo - Keeps clean in draw Bravo kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Bravo did well against a team that's taken points from top teams in recent weeks as he kept a second clean sheet in two starts. Up next should be even tougher as Bravo faces former club Barcelona, which have scored the second-most goals in the league.

Victor Ruiz - Keeps clean sheet in draw Ruiz kept a clean sheet with three interceptions and four blocks made during Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Ruiz really only plays as a rotation option for Marc Bartra and German Pezzella, but six interceptions made in his last two starts over a month are a solid tally. That being said, make sure he's in the lineup before considering the pick. Up next is a visit from Barcelona, which have scored the second-most goals in La Liga.

Youssouf Sabaly - Keeps clean sheet in draw Sabaly kept a clean sheet with one save made during Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Sabaly has seemingly reclaimed his spot from Hector Bellerin, making eight league and UEL starts in the last 10 matches. While his production hasn't been substantial with two chances created and two tackles won in the last two starts, Sabaly missed much of the season to date due to injury and this could be a good time to take stock of what he can do in the seasons to come. Up next is a visit from Barcelona, which have scored the second-most goals in the league.

Nabil Fekir - Active in draw Fekir took three shots (one on goal) and created two chances from four crosses (one accurate) during Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Fekir has recorded just one assist in the last four matches but still put together an impressive performance that nearly saw him beat David Soria from outside the box if it weren't for an impressive save. He'll next face Barcelona, which have been inconsistent all season and recently lost twice at home.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Borja Iglesias - Shotless in draw Iglesias failed to take a shot in 75 minutes of Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Iglesias has started in two of the last three league matches but has taken just one shot in that time. As he was stellar during the Copa del Rey win over Valencia. Iglesias may just save his skill for the biggest games, though he's evidently a streaky player to this point with many of his goals this season coming in consecutive matches. Up next is a home match against Barcelona, which are tied for the fewest goals conceded to forwards this season.

Real Betis and Valencia lose ahead of Copa del Rey final

Real Betis has missed a chance to move closer to the Champions League places after a 1-0 loss at home to Elche in the Spanish league

APRIL 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Willian Jose - Takes three shots in loss Jose took three shots and created two chances in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Elche.

Impact It has now been eight La Liga appearances since Jose's last La Liga goal against Malloraca on Feb. 20, although in fairness he has started in just three of those matches. Next up is the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia on Saturday before returning to the league against Getafe the following weekend.

Juanmi - Takes three shots in loss Juanmi took three shots (one on target) and created two chances in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Elche. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Juanmi was active in attack Tuesday but he couldn't lead his team to a much-needed result against Elche. Aside from a two-goal, two-assist explosion against Osasuna at the beginning of April, he hasn't recorded a direct goal involvement since January in La Liga. He will want to end that drought in Saturday's Copa del Rey Final against Valencia.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nabil Fekir - Creates three chances in loss Fekir took two shots and created three chances in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Elche. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Fekir will be disappointed he and his team couldn't come up with a result against a beatable Elche side as Betis falls further away from finishing in the top-four in La Liga this season. He will want to bounce back in the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia on Saturday.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Canales - Creates four chances against Elche Canales took three shots (two on target) and created four chances in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Elche.

Impact Canales was very dangerous in attack on Tuesday but he just couldn't break through for an equalizing goal. His last direct goal involvement in La Liga came back in February, but Saturday's Copa del Rey Final against Valencia provides the opportunity to inject some momentum into this Betis side as they try to climb back up into the top-four in La Liga.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Silva - Concedes goal against Elche Silva made zero saves and conceded a goal in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Elche.

Impact Silva made his first appearance for Betis in over a month on Tuesday, but he will be disappointed to have been beaten by a late Tete Morente strike that won the game for his opponents. He will likely be back on the bench for the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia at the weekend.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Akouokou - Sent off against Elche Akouokou received a straight red card in the 93rd minute of Tuesday's defeat against Elche following a foul on Lucas Olaza. He created two chances, made three interceptions and won...

Impact Akouokou was having a solid game in what was his first La Liga appearance in about a month Tuesday before getting sent off, but he will now be suspended for the clash against Getafe on May 2.
