Real Betis are coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad. Despite having a two-goal lead with just over 10 minutes left in regulation time, they were unable to hold on for the victory.
Manuel Pellegrini's men are fifth in La Liga, four points above sixth-placed Celta Vigo. With only three matches left to play, they could potentially secure a UEFA Champions League spot with a victory here, depending on the outcome of Celta's encounter with Levante.
The hosts are without defenders Marc Bartra, who is sidelined with a foot injury, and Aitor Ruibal, who is suspended due to his late sending off at San Sebastian over the weekend.
Los Verdiblancos could also host Elche without four first-team members, including Angel Ortiz, Richardo Rodriguez, Natan, and Diego Llorente, as these players’ availability is questionable due to fitness issues.
On the other hand, Elche played out a 1-1 draw with Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. Although the visitors have lost only twice at home all season, they have been La Liga's worst travellers with a 1-4-12 win-draw-loss record away from home.
In fact, the Valencia-based outfit have lost eight of their last nine away games across all competitions. They are two points above the relegation zone with three matches left to play.
Key forward Rafa Mir, who has missed the last two games for Los Franjiverdes due to a slight hamstring problem, is expected to be back in action on Tuesday.
However, midfielder Yago Santiago, who is out for the remainder of the season due to knee surgery, is unavailable for this clash alongside Moroccan youngster Adam Boayar, who is continuing his recovery from a muscular injury.
