Sent off against Valladolid Pezzella was sent off in the 35th minute of Sunday's match against Valladolid after a VAR check.

Impact Pezzella hasn't been a consistent starter over the last month (three in five matches) and now sloppy use of his hands when making a challenge ended his afternoon early. Edgar Gonzalez should take his place in the lineup during his suspension for Sunday's trip to Almeria.

Comes on in defensive relief Pezzella made four tackles (two won) and had one shot (zero on target) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Pezzella subbed into this contest after just 20 minutes when Luiz Felipe was sent off with a straight red card. He took William Carvalho's place in the lineup to bolster an otherwise shorthanded defensive rotation and did well to keep the score at 1-0 throughout. It is likely he remains in the Betis lineup for the squad's next league match at Valladolid while Felipe serves his suspension.

Busy defensively Pezzella tallied five interceptions with two clearances and a tackle (one won) in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Girona.

Impact With Pezzella's five interceptions on Sunday, it gives him 17 on the season as he now averages 3.4 a game.

Keeps clean sheet in draw Pezzella took a shot and made two clearances in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Pezzella wasn't always in the lineup in his first La Liga season (eight clean sheets in 22 starts) but rotation was always going to be likely as Betis also won the Copa del Rey and made it to the Europa League knockout rounds. All-in-all, it has been a successful season for the 30-year-old alongside Marc Bartra in central defense as his side finished fifth and qualified for Europe once again next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in win Pezzella made 10 clearances, took two shots (one on goal) and won one-of-three tackles during Sunday's 2-0 win over Granada.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in win Pezzella had two off-target shots and made seven clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 2-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Pezzella had a decent stat line here, highlighted by his seven clearances, and even went up the field to pose a threat on aerial plays. This is good news for the centre back, who experienced lots of ups and downs over the last few months. He'll try to remain productive during Friday's visit to Real Sociedad.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended against Osasuna Pezzella will miss Sunday's clash against Osasuna with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Pezzella picked up his fifth yellow card of the La Liga season in the draw against Celta before the international break, meaning he will be suspended for Sunday's game. Victor Ruiz or Edgar Gonzalez is likely to replace him in central defense for the match.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet in win Pezzella kept a clean sheet with two interceptions made and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Pezzella now sits one booking away from suspension following Sunday's success. Given that he's featured in a deep center-back rotation along with Marc Bartra, Victor Ruiz and Edgar Gonzalez, his value isn't so certain. Up next in league play is a trip to Celta Vigo.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Sociedad Pezzella (undisclosed) is in Betis' match day squad for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Levante Pezzella (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Levante.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves injured in win Pezzella made three clearances and three interceptions, but had to be subbed off with an injury during Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Pezzella was having a nice performance at the heart of the defense during the first half, but felt some discomfort and had to leave the pitch in the 52nd minute. The extent of the injury is still to be known, so the centre back will be questionable for next Sunday's clash against Levante.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nets own goal Pezzella scored an own goal and made two clearances during Sunday's 3-0 loss to Atletico.

Impact Pezzella put past his own keeper, and had limited defensive volume outside of that. The defender has been an inconsistent, and low-floor fantasy option, and nothing about that seems likely to change.

OCTOBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores against Valencia Pezzella scored a goal in a 4-1 win against Valencia on Wednesday.

Impact Pezzella had a good game for the home side. The 30-year-old scored the team's third goal in the match which was his first of the league campaign. Other than that, Pezzella also made three clearances.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in win Pezzella made one tackle and seven clearances while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Pezzella was rock-solid at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay during the entire match, being an essential piece for his side to be able to shut the opposition down. The centre back doesn't have his place in the starting XI cemented yet, but will hope this showing was good enough for him to remain on the team for next Sunday's visit to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off late Pezzella was shown a red card during Sunday's match with Espanyol.

Impact Pezzella was shown a straight red card in the 78th minute forcing Betis to play the remainder of the match with ten men. The defender will miss next week's match at Osasuna through suspension.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes first start in loss Pezzella conceded a yellow card and made seven clearances during the 1-0 loss to Real Madrid on Aug 28.

Impact Pezzella didn't take long to get busy in his return to Betis as he also made two interceptions and won one tackle. With at least 32 league starts made over his last five seasons, Pezzella could be an exceptionally reliable piece for his club all season long and bolster what was a struggling defense last season.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Betis Pezzella signed a four-year contract with Real Betis after transferring from Fiorentina, the club confirmed Thursday.

Impact Pezzella returns to Betis, where he made 66 appearances in two seasons from 2015-17 before joining Fiorentina. The 30-year-old brings plenty of experience to the Spanish club's back line, having averaged between 33 and 34 starts per season in Serie A and La Liga over the last five years, and he just won the Copa America with Argentina this summer. Once he gets up to speed with his new team, he will likely partner Marc Bartra in central defense, and he could provide good veteran leadership and guidance to 21-year-old Juan Miranda.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Crotone game Pezzella won two of two tackles, had two clearances and one block and was booked for the fifth time in the season in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Pezzella had a decent outing but could not stop the opponents from hitting the net twice. He will likely be replaced by Lucas Martinez Quarta in Saturday's road game versus Crotone. He has scored once in the season, adding 34 tackles, 36 interceptions and 105 clearances in 32 matches.
