Recreativo will start the championship 90km from Huelva in Seville in the neighborhood. Last year they fought a draw at Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, so they wouldn't mind if they repeated the result now. Last year's bets scorer Sinama-Pongolle left, also very good Carlos Martins left Huelva but the team is still very competitive. The nucleus of the midfield is still the same. We are talking about Jesus Vasquez and Javi Guerrero and the Argentinean who came from Boca Juniors is a significant back-up for the attack. Defense suffered least changes so we expect this part of the team to be the best. It is very important that Manuel Zambrano stayed on the bench which means continuity of the play that brought them great results last season in the spring part. His presence means that the team will be trained even better in this season.
Home side wish to win and the visitors would settle for a draw even. Anyway we will probably see an open and attractive play. Betis are the favourites but Recreativo play traditionally well away so it is not easy to predict the outcome of this game. We expect a minimum home win or a draw.
