The intensity of the calendar Real Betis Basketballwhich returns to action this Sunday in Castellón after the FIBA window break, increases exponentially starting in December with seven matches guaranteed in the last month of the year and between five and seven, depending on the role it plays in the Spanish Cupin January. A total of fourteen matches could be played, therefore, between this Sunday, December 1, when he will visit the Friends Castellóand on Friday, January 31, when it is scheduled, and as long as there is no change of date, the matchday 18 match against HLA Alicante in the San Pablo pavilion. In what will mean the beginning of the second round of the league. These two weeks of work in San Pablo without games, and although there are several injuries (the last, and serious, Álex Suárez) that reduce the squad, they must have served the players of Gonzalo Garcia to recharge your batteries before this hard and long marathon.
In December they will play three times in San Pablo and four at home. After this Sunday’s appearance in Castellón against the ninth placed team in the category, Betis will receive the Alimerka Oviedo on Friday, December 6 (8 p.m.) in what will be a preview of the Spanish Cup quarterfinal tie that these two teams will settle in the coming weeks.

On Sunday the 15th, return to San Pablo (12:30 p.m.), this time to face the Real Valladolidwhich for now is in the lower-middle zone of the table. Then, on Friday the 20th (9 p.m.), it will be time to visit the Pazo Paco Paz, where one of the revelation teams of the season awaits, the Ourense Basketball Clubwhich once led the table and now has the same balance of results as the Verdiblancos: six wins and two losses.

It will be against Naturavia CB Morón (12.30), current bottom of the category, in the first of the Sevillian derbies that will take place in Primera FEB after the one already played, and also in San Pablo, corresponding to the group stage of the Spanish Cup.
The rest for the Christmas period will be practically non-existent, since the league competition continues for Betis Baloncesto on Saturday, January 4, Three Kings Eve, when they will appear at the Ángel Nieto pavilion to face the Caja Rural CB Zamora (17.30). A match that will practically prolong the return in San Pablo of the cup holder crossing with the Alimerka Oviedo on January 7 (8:00 p.m.).

After that trip to the outskirts of Madrid, the second round will begin, but first the Final Four of the Spanish Cup will be played, in which Betis Baloncesto aspires to be. It is celebrated on Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25 in a single headquarters. In the best of cases, the Verdiblancos would play two games: the semifinal and the final.
