He Real Betis Life has been complicated in the most disappointing way possible. With Thursday’s embarrassing defeat in the Czech Republic, the green and white team has gotten into a big mess, sporting and economicparameters that go more hand in hand than ever in times of hardship. FK Mladá Boleslav, ranked tenth in their country’s league after winning only one of the last eight rounds, received Pellegrini’s team with zero points in their locker in the Group Stage of the UEFA Conference League, after losing all three first games and only being able to score one goal. He scored two goals against the Heliopolitans in four minutes (another bird like the one in Valencia) and turned the score around causing them to now have direct qualification for the round of 16 is almost impossible and they even fear elimination.
It is worth remembering that in the tight budget that the board of directors will present at the Shareholders’ Meeting on December 17 Almost 16 million entries are contemplated with an obligation to reach at least the semifinals. At the moment, in the two defeats and the draw, just over a million euros have already gone. Specifically, 1.07 million; since there are 400,000 euros for each victory and draws only bring in 130,000. Paper.
Only the first eight of this group of 36 teams go directly to the round of 16, while between 9th and 24th will go to a preliminary round against the teams that arrive bounced from the Europa League. Today, after their defeat against Mladá Boleslav, Real Betis is 23rd with only four points out of a possible 12; since they also lost on their visit to Legia de Warsaw (1-0), could only draw at home against FK Copenhagen (1-1) and suffered greatly against NK Celje (2-1), whom they could only defeat with a last-gasp goal from Juanmi Jiménez. Without that providential sting, the accounts today would be much more complex.
Betis has 0.2% of direct pass options, but 96% of not being eliminated
It hurts Pellegrini and his people that people think they don’t know how to compete in Europe, but reality insists on giving arguments to critics. In the Czech lands, for the third day in a row he took the lead and for the third time they equaled him (this time they even came back). The top eight places in the classification are already five points away with only six remaining to be played, so Artificial Intelligence gives only a 0.3 percent chance of obtaining a direct pass. The calculation, according to the computers of Football Meets Datais that between 13 and 14 points will be necessary to finish in the ‘Top 8’. It doesn’t work anymore. He would have to add it all up (it would remain at 10) and for at least 15 of the 22 teams ahead to lose everything, something almost impossible considering that there are direct confrontations between many of those involved in that fight.
The positive part of the omens offered by the statistics after the dispute of the fourth day of the Conference League is that they continue to offer Real Betis a 96 percent chance of reaching the next phase, the round equivalent to the round of 32. The estimate is that it will finish in position number 15very far from the forecasts that place him among the four top favorites for the title, but meeting at least the minimum objective even if it is at the cost of adding two more games to an already overloaded calendar. To do this, in any case, you must win at FC Petrocub Hinçesti Moldavianwhich occupies 34th place out of 36 with a point of 12; and to HJK Hensinki finlandés31st with 3 points out of 12. A priori, it should be affordable; but so did FK Mladá Boleslav (now 30th, with 3 out of 12) and the image was very disappointing.
