Real Betis vs Real Madrid: Los Blancos Chase a Fourth Straight Win at La Cartuja

Real Madrid face a difficult test today as they travel to Real Betis in an eagerly awaited and fiercely contested meeting between the two sides, in matchday four of La Liga.

Betis hold the edge in the recent meetings

Real Betis hold a striking advantage in the recent head-to-head record, having taken points from five of the last seven games against Real Madrid, with one win, four draws and only two defeats. Real Madrid, for their part, have failed to win on any of their last four visits to the Betis ground, settling for three draws and a single loss.

Betis look to derail Real Madrid's start

Betis go into the game with 6 points from three matches, having won twice and lost once, and will be ready to try to obstruct Real Madrid's progress and halt their strong start to the season.

Real Madrid chase a fourth straight win

Real Madrid, meanwhile, arrive in high spirits after winning their first three matches to collect a full 9 points, and will be looking for a fourth consecutive victory in order to keep pressing Barcelona at the top of the league, especially as Barcelona have also begun the season strongly and hold a perfect record so far.

A possible three-way race for the top

As has been the case every season, the fight for the summit between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be fierce and compelling, while Atlético Madrid may also join the race for part of the campaign, particularly after their own strong start and 7 points from their first three matches.

Attacking power against defensive organisation

Real Madrid will count today on their attacking power to break through the Betis defence and settle the contest, while the hosts will rely on defensive organisation and counterattacks to try to snatch points from their strong visitors.

It is an eagerly awaited meeting between a side searching to continue a perfect start, and another that wants to make use of home advantage and its crowd to derail one of the leading contenders for the title.

Where and when to watch

The match is being played at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville rather than Real Betis's usual home ground, and kicks off at 9:00 PM local time in Spain, which is 10:00 PM Lebanon time.

We wish you enjoyable viewing and a thrilling match worthy of the strength of both teams.
