- KO: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio de la Cartuja
Spanish Primera Division action takes place on Friday evening as Real Betis hosts Real Madrid in Seville.
Los Merengues make the trip to the Estadio de la Cartuja after a narrow midweek win against Alaves while Betis return to home comforts after a fine road win against Girona.
Real have held a narrow edge in recent encounters, but can expect a stiff test against an in-form home side.

Real Betis team overview
Real Betis return to the Estadio de la Cartuja after an excellent 3:2 win at Girona earlier this week. Rodrigo Riquelme’s late goal secured the points for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Before that much-needed victory, Betis had failed to win ten of 11 previous fixtures across all competitions.
Despite a lack of wins in La Liga in recent weeks, Betis have remained a tough side to beat. Pellegrini’s men are unbeaten in each of their last seven home league fixtures, while they have lost just three of 15 La Liga matches in Seville this season.
Past encounters between these sides have usually delivered in the goal markets. Four of their five most recent encounters in Seville finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Pellegrini has three confirmed absentees this weekend. Diego Llorente (muscle) and Junior Firpo (muscle) are ruled out through injury, while Ángel Ortiz is doubtful with a shoulder issue.

Real Madrid team overview
Real Madrid come into Friday’s La Liga contest after a narrow 2:1 win against Alaves earlier this week. Kylian Mbappe and Vini Jnr were on the scoresheet as Los Merengues claimed victory at the Bernabeu.
Before that victory, Alvaro Arbeloa’s side had failed to win four successive fixtures, including painful home and away defeats against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Defensive vulnerabilities have proved costly for Real this season. Los Merengues leaked 12 goals in their last six games while they have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches.
As a consequence, Real now sit six points behind Barcelona, having also played one game more than the league leaders.
Frequently involved in high-scoring outcomes, BTTS has landed in each of Real’s last eight games, while three goals or more were scored in nine of their ten most recent matches.
Head coach Arbeloa has three players unavailable this weekend. Rodrygo (cruciate ligament) and Thibaut Courtois (thigh) are ruled out through injury, while Raúl Asencio is doubtful due to a stomach virus.
