Player to watch – Nabil Fekir
Nabil Fekir was often Betis’ star player before a serious injury saw him miss most of 2023. He’s not quite at his best yet following that setback, with no goals but two assists in nine appearances in La Liga this term.
Fekir yet to hit the heights of old
Nabil Fekir’s numbers are down on what he achieved during the 2021/22 La Liga season, his last injury-free campaign. Fekir averaged 2.5 key passes and 2.4 dribbles per game then, but he’s down to 1.6 and 1.2 respectively this term.
