Real Betis - Real Madrid: Match Preview
Real Betis had a very strong season last year and managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The team collected 60 points over 38 rounds, finishing six points ahead of the sixth-placed side and securing a place in Europe's premier club competition. A few days later, on September 8, they will travel to face Lille. Betis have made a fairly good start to the new season. They defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 in the opening round, then beat Valencia by the same score, but in their most recent match they suffered a heavy 2-5 defeat to Levante. Six points after three rounds is still a decent start for Betis.
Real Madrid have started the new season even better than Betis and are showing excellent results. Los Blancos first defeated Espanyol 2-1, then thrashed Real Sociedad 4-1 and Málaga 4-0. They have a perfect nine points and sit second in the table, behind Barcelona only on goal difference. They will be aiming to win the title this season, as the team have gone without a trophy in the previous two campaigns. Last season, Real Madrid finished second, were eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and exited the Copa del Rey at an early stage. However, they will certainly try to win silverware this time with new head coach José Mourinho, who has returned to the Real Madrid dugout.
