Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis host Porto this Wednesday, October 14, at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, on matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase. The match kicks off at 16:00 Chilean time.
According to ADN Radio, viewers in Chile can watch the match on ESPN 7. It will also be available to stream on Disney+, only for those with a subscription to the platform's Premium Plan. BioBioChile confirmed the same kickoff time and broadcasters.
The green-and-white side are in good form. They are third in Spain's La Liga and have gone six consecutive matches unbeaten, according to ADN Radio. In their last match, they thrashed Osasuna 5-2.
In the European tournament, Betis opened their campaign with a win over France's Lille on the first matchday, according to ADN Radio. This will be their first home appearance in the competition, at La Cartuja.
Their opponents offer no respite. Porto lead Portugal's league with eight wins in eight matches, according to BioBioChile. The Portuguese club have won the European Cup twice and are among the toughest opponents Betis will face in this phase.
On tactics, BioBioChile expects the schedule of midweek matches to force Pellegrini to rotate his squad while maintaining his commitment to possession, quick ball recoveries and the strength of his attack. Marc Bartra is expected to partner Brazilian Natan de Souza in central defence, with Héctor Bellerín and Fran García at full-back.
According to that outlet, Betis' probable lineup is Álvaro Valles; Bellerín, Bartra, Natan, Fran García; Facundo Bernal, Deossa; Antony, Isco, Abde; and Troy Parrott. Porto are expected to line up with Diogo Costa; Fernandes, Kiwior, Bednarek, Alberto Costa; Varela; Pepê, Rosario, Veiga, Sainz; and André Silva.
A win would take Pellegrini's team to six points after two matchdays of the Champions League league phase.
