Betis bidding to seal safety in Eibar

Team News:

- Real Betis: Cristiano Piccini (injured); Dani Ceballos and Heiko Westermann (both suspended); Bruno, Didier Digard and Juan Manuel Vargas (all doubtful).

Match Facts:

Eibar (12th, 42 pts):

- Eibar ensured they will be staying in the Liga BBVA for another season with their 1-1 draw with RC Deportivo a fortnight ago. However, they are still looking for a first victory since Matchday 33 and are eager to rediscover their mojo so as to usher out the campaign in the best possible fashion.

- Jose Luis Mendilibar's men have picked up 13 points at home this calendar year. They drew their last game at Ipurua, winning the one before that.

- The Basques cruised to a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture in Seville.

 Betis (13th, 41 pts):

- This is tantamount to a cup final for the Andalusians, who are determined to get at least a point at Ipurua, which is all they need to mathematically clinch Liga BBVA safety.

- Betis have fallen to back-to-back 2-0 defeats, away to Sevilla FC and at home to FC Barcelona. Juan Merino's team will go all out to avoid suffering a similar fate in Eibar.  

- Eibar will have to keep a close eye on Ruben Castro. The hitman has been in arguably the best shape and form of his career this season, playing in each and every one of Betis's 36 league fixtures to date and notching up 17 goals along the way.
