Real Betis - Real Madrid

Friday 4 September 2026 marks a significant encounter at Estadio de La Cartuja as Real Betis host Real Madrid for matchday 4 of the LaLiga season. The hosts enter this fixture looking to recover from a difficult 5-2 defeat against Levante, a result that interrupted their early momentum following narrow victories over Valencia and Real Sociedad. Real Betis will rely on an expected starting XI featuring Isco and Pablo Fornals to anchor the midfield against a formidable visiting side.

Real Madrid arrive in excellent form, having secured consecutive victories against Malaga and Real Sociedad by significant margins. With Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior expected to lead the attack, the visitors aim to maintain their perfect start to the campaign. Despite the absence of Endrick due to injury, Real Madrid possess the depth to challenge the Betis defence, setting the stage for a compelling tactical battle.
