European hopefuls Real Betis can guarantee a place on the continent next season with a win at Las Palmas.
Three points away to Las Palmas on Thursday would guarantee Real Betis a place in European competition next season, though it remains to be decided which layer of continental contest the club will compete in. Sat sixth in La Liga with three games to go, just one more win would assure Los Verdiblancos could drop no lower than seventh, which would assure them of a place in the Europa Conference League. However, victory over Las Palmas this week will be considered crucial for Manuel Pellegrini’s men considering their last two fixtures of the campaign look far less winnable on paper.

Those fixtures take place at home to Real Sociedad—currently just one point below Betis in the table—and away to newly crowned La Liga champion Real Madrid on the final day.
Betis is in great shape at present after going unbeaten in five and winning four of those outings, fuelled by the progress of a squad filled with players reinventing themselves from previous ventures.
The likes of Isco, Ayoze Perez and Pablo Fornals are great examples of that, with each of those players having scored in last weekend’s narrow 3-2 win over Almeria:
Las Palmas, on the other hand, is in the opposite vein of form after failing to win any of its last 11 games, recording eight straight defeats in what’s been a woeful run of form.
Luckily for the Canary Islanders, their place in La Liga is already effectively sewn up thanks to some impressive form earlier in the campaign.
Garcia Pimienta’s men formerly went three months with just three defeats across all competitions, but that resilience has gone out the window as they now seek a first win since early February.
