The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Real Betis take on Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday.
Real Betis vs Real Madrid Preview
Real Betis are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly inconsistent so far this season. The Andalusian outfit edged Villanovense to a narrow 2-1 victory in the Copa del Rey this week and will be confident ahead of this match.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form so far this season. Los Blancos eased past Granada by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
