Betis and Cádiz meet this Easter Sunday immersed in the fight for their respective objectives

Canales and Carcelén will be on the pitch after prospering their respective resources

Betis and Cádiz meet on Easter Sunday at the Benito Villamarín stadium in a match that does not promote brotherhood between two Andalusians this Holy Weeksince the Sevillian is in a tight fight to enter the Champions League positions and the man from Cádiz in another equally bitter one for not getting into the relegation zone.

Both teams come to this match after losing in the previous daythe verdiblancos in the Atlético de Madrid field (1-0) and the yellows at home against Sevilla (0-2), but also with good news that emerged this week from the ordinary courts, which they attended after the sports did not agree with them.

Thus, to the Betis midfielder Sergio Canales and to the right side of Cádiz Iza Carcelén they have been granted the precautionary suspension of the sanctions that weigh on them, so they are available to play on Sunday at Villamarín.

The coach of the Sevilla team, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, will have one of the most fundamental playerswith whom he could not count last Sunday due to that sanction at the Metropolitano stadium, which somewhat alleviated the absence for the remainder of the season of the French midfielder Nabil Fekir, who is recovering after an operation on his left knee.

The Senegalese right-back Youssouf Sabaly has also had ankle problems that prevented him from playing against Atlético de Madridalthough he is already with the group, while the center-back Víctor Ruiz has been absent in the last sessions of this week due to physical losses, but in both cases the Chilean coach has several solutions for those positions.

Pellegrini also recovers Mexican midfielder Andrés Guardadowho served a penalty for accumulating warnings last day, while due to the disciplinary chapter he does not have any other player for this occasion.

Cádiz, for its part, wants to forget as soon as possible the defeat suffered last day against Sevilla and for this he aspires to, at least, tie in his visit to Villamarín. If they succeed, it would be their third consecutive outing scoring points, after drawing against Real Sociedad (0-0) and Almería (1-1), although the most desired goal is to win.

ring the bell in the field of one of the teams fighting to enter European competitions It would redouble the morale of the people of Cádiz, at an important moment of the season due to how tight the classification is at the bottom of the table.

The coach, Sergio González, has the pleasant novelty of having Iza Carcelénwho was banned for three games after being sent off at the end of the game played against Getafe (2-2), of which he has already served two.

Who will continue another week absent will be the Argentine goalkeeper Jeremías Conan Ledesma, sanctioned with four games for the incidents that occurred in that match against Getafe, and who will be replaced again by the usual substitute goalkeeper David Gil. Neither will the Argentine midfielder Gonzalo Escalante, nor the Uruguayan winger Brian Ocampo, both injured.
