Match preview
After three games, just two clubs in La Liga have nine points on the board and, coincidentally, they clash here, with the Bernabéu hosting a game for the first time this season.
Despite starting with three away matches, Carlo Ancelotti’s team have won all three, most recently defeating Espanyol on Sunday night.
Vinícius Júnior broke the deadlock at RCDE Stadium, but a late brace from Karim Benzema, the latter in the tenth minute of stoppage time, was required to snatch the points.
Before this, los Blancos had also come from behind to beat Almería before, in the end, swatting aside Celta de Vigo at Balaídos.
So will the Spanish and European champions start a La Liga season with four successive wins for the first time since 2016?
Real Betis though will provide a stern test, given that they too are looking to maintain an unblemished record.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men had previously hammered Elche at home, before requiring a pair of Iglesias penalties to down Mallorca at Son Moix.
Béticos finished fifth and won last season’s Copa del Rey, leading to many suggesting they’re prime candidates for Champions League qualification.
Those credentials will be sorely tested here, although Betis are actually unbeaten in five visits to the Bernabéu or Valdebebas, looking to spring another surprise.
