Felix scored a goal each on either side of Betis’ Tello after which Lemar found the net to inflict a 9th loss of the season, leaving Betis in 5th place.
With 2 losses and 2 draws from their last 5 matches, Betis have dropped off the pace just a tad bit and need to put themselves back together ahead of this clash.

While Betis beat Zenit 3-2 on aggregate to reach this stage, the visitors finished top of their Europa League group to book a place in the RO 16.
