Real Betis and Real Madrid will lock horns with each other in La Liga this coming weekend. The match between Los Verdiblancos and Los Blancos will be held at the Estadio Benito Villamarín and is scheduled to kick off at 3:15 pm UK time on Saturday.
Real Betis
Real Betis are one of the biggest and most well-supported clubs in Spain and are doing quite well at the moment. Manuel Pellegrini’s side ended up as high as sixth in the La Liga table last season, and they could do even better this time around.
Betis are seventh in the La Liga table at the moment with 25 points from 15 matches. They are six points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid. A top-four finish for Los Verderones this season is very much possible.
El Glorioso will take on Villanovense away from home in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening. They played out a goalless draw with Almeria away from home in La Liga this past weekend. It followed a 1-0 defeat to Sparta Prague away from home in UEFA Europa League Group C.
