Real Betis are a difficult team to beat, as shown by their recent form in the early part of the new season and the latter part of last season. Pellegrini has made a big difference!
12'
This is a good period of pressure for Real Betis. They are controlling the ball and what's more they look dangerous in the attacking third. Real Madrid having to do some defending.
11'
Fekir has the quality to give Real Madrid real problems. Not to be disrespectful to Real Betis, but there is still a sense that the Frenchman has the talent to play at a higher level.
10'
FEKIR WITH THE SHOT! Very close to a Real Betis goal! Everyone in the box was waiting for the delivery in from Fekir, but he nearly caught out Courtois with a shot at the near post!
9'
The omens are good for Real Madrid this evening. They are unbeaten in their last 20 La liga games. But on the flip side, it’s also been 13 games since Real Betis lost in La Liga!

This has been a very interesting opening six minutes at the Benito Villamarin. Real Betis are pressing high, but Vinicius is getting a lot of joy down the left side of the pitch!
5'
BENZEMA... wide! That should have been the opener! Vinicius drove to the byline, his cut back was deflected, but fell into the path of Benzema who fired inches wide of the post. So close!
4'
Real Betis are already pressing high on Real Madrid. They clearly saw what Levante were able to do to Ancelotti's side last week and are trying to replicate that approach.

What sort of match will we get this evening? Real Madrid have picked up four points from their opening two games. Can they make it seven from three matches against Real Betis?

It's a beautiful evening for soccer in Seville. This has the potential to be an excellent encounter!

Not long until kick off at the Benito Villamarin. This place has one of the best atmospheres in Spanish football and despite the Covid restrictions it will be rocking tonight!
20:50
20:45
Isco has kept his place in the Real Madrid team after playing well in last week's 3-3 draw away to Levante. Ancelotti has given the playmaker another chance this season!
20:40
Vinicius starts! Perhaps the biggest headline from Ancelotti's team selection is that Vinicius starts for Real Madrid while Hazard is on the bench despite playing well recently!
