Match Facts:
Real Betis (15th, 8 pts):
- The Andalusians remain undefeated at home this term and will be looking to cement the Benito Villamarin's status as a fortress when Real Madrid come to town. Gustavo Poyet's men have picked up two draws and one victory on their own patch so far this season.
- Betis are bidding to bounce back from their loss to Real Sociedad last time out and return to winning ways this weekend. However, high-flying Los Blancos are sure to pose a stern test and if Poyet's charges are to claim maximum points, they will likely need Antonio Adan, who has made more saves than any other goalkeeper in LaLiga Santander, to keep shining against his old club.
Real Madrid (2nd, 15 pts):
- Zinedine Zidane's charges head to Seville hell-bent on rediscovering the winning habit, having been held to four straight draws. Three of those have come in the league (against Villarreal CF, UD Las Palmas and SD Eibar) and the dropped points have seen them slip off the top of the table.

- Madrid are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Betis, in which they have recorded four wins and a draw. What's more, they have only lost one of their last 19 games against Andalusian opposition – that was a 3-2 reverse at the hands of Sevilla FC at the Sánchez-Pizjuan in November 2015.
