Real Betis vs Real Madrid Match Preview
Real Betis welcome Real Madrid to the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla on Friday, September 4, with kick-off at 20:00 BST (21:00 CEST).
Real Madrid enter the fixture as one of the early favourites for the LaLiga title after making a perfect start to the 2026–27 campaign. Xabi Alonso's side have won all three of their opening league matches, collecting nine points and scoring 10 goals in the process. Madrid opened the season with a 2-1 victory over Espanyol before producing a convincing 4-1 win away to Real Sociedad, while they followed that result by beating newly promoted Málaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu. Kylian Mbappé has already made a strong start to the campaign, while Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior have also provided significant attacking quality.
Real Betis, meanwhile, have collected six points from their first three matches under Manuel Pellegrini. The hosts began the campaign with narrow 1-0 victories over Real Sociedad and Valencia before suffering their first defeat last weekend, when they were beaten 5-2 away to Levante. Betis finished fifth in LaLiga last season to secure Champions League football for the first time in 21 years, but they will need to recover quickly from the Levante defeat with a meeting against Real Madrid followed by the start of their European campaign.
The hosts will also take confidence from their recent record against Madrid at home. Los Verdiblancos are unbeaten in their last four home meetings with Real Madrid, including a 1-1 draw in April, while their previous home victory over the visitors came in March 2025 when they won 2-1. Dani Ceballos has also returned to Betis from Real Madrid on a permanent transfer, although the midfielder may not be fit enough to feature against his former club.
Real Madrid will be expected to control possession and create the majority of the chances, with Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Bellingham providing the main attacking threat. Betis' best route to goal is likely to come through Antony, Isco and Rodrigo Riquelme, while the hosts will look to exploit their strong home record against Madrid and frustrate the visitors' attacking players.

Real Betis will be hoping to bounce back from their heavy defeat to Levante when they take on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid Team News and Key Players
Real Madrid head into the game with a number of injury concerns, with Raúl Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Thiago Pitarch and Rodrygo continuing their recoveries.

Score Prediction: Real Betis 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid's perfect start makes them the favourites heading into Friday's meeting, although Betis' impressive recent home record against the visitors means this should be a competitive contest.
The hosts will look to make the most of home advantage and exploit any weaknesses in Madrid's defence, but the visitors have considerably more attacking firepower.
Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Bellingham could ultimately prove the difference, with Real Madrid expected to maintain their 100% start to the LaLiga season.
