Real Betis welcome a league-leading Real Madrid side to their slice of Seville on Saturday afternoon.
There is a distinct Real Madrid twang to this current iteration of Real Betis. Led by former Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini, Betis have strung together a ten-match unbeaten sequence in La Liga thanks in no small part to the regal elegance of Isco, a former star for the capital club.
Carlo Ancelotti’s visitors are also enjoying a commanding run of results in Spain’s top flight, with defeat to city rivals Atletico Madrid the only blemish on their record as they occupy first place.
Here’s everything you need to know about the meeting between two in-form sides this weekend.
