Looking to bounce back from a painful reversal against Real Madrid, Real Betis return to action on Saturday when they face struggling Real Oviedo in the lunch-time kick-off.
Betis come into this fixture after a punishing 5:1 defeat against Los Merengues while Oviedo return to action as they look to claim a rare La Liga victory.
Set for their first meeting in 25 years, Betis hold the historical edge, but can expect a stiff test against a side that has shown plenty of resilience at Carlos Tartiere Stadium this season.

Real Oviedo team overview
Real Oviedo comes into Sunday's La Liga contest after a hard-fought 1:1 draw at Alaves last weekend. Federico Viñas's second-half goal secured a valuable road point for Guillermo Almada's side.
Oviedo have struggled to find their feet in the Spanish top flight this season. The hosts have failed to win any of their last 12 games, and remain bottom of the division with just 12 points picked up from 18 games completed. Approaching the midway point of the season, Almada's men find themselves six points short of safety.
A low-scoring outcome seems near inevitable when Oviedo are in action at Carlos Tartiere Stadium. Each of their last four home matches finished as goalless draws. The hosts scored just two goals in nine home league games this season.
Head coach Almada has a handful of selection issues this weekend. Federico Viñas is suspended after picking up a red card last weekend, while Álvaro Lemos is ruled out with an injury issue. Elsewhere, Nacho Vidal, Ovie Ejaria and Eric Bailly are all listed as doubtful.

Real Betis team overview
Real Betis make the trip to Oviedo looking to bounce back from a disappointing 5:1 defeat against Real Madrid last weekend. Gonzalo García bagged a hat-trick in an impressive display from Los Merengues.
Manuel Pellegrini's side had enjoyed a strong run of form before their defeat at the Bernabeu, remaining unbeaten in 12 of 13 previous league fixtures. Betis scored victories in six of their nine most recent fixtures, and now sit sixth in the division, and inside the European qualification places.
On the road, just one of Los Verdiblancos last five away matches finished with over 2.5 goals scored, and a similarly low-scoring outcome seems likely this weekend.
Head coach Pellegrini has some selection problems to deal with. Isco, Sofyan Amrabat, Cédric Bakambu and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli are ruled out, while Adrián is listed as doubtful.
