Following a midweek draw, Real Madrid will look to get back on track with a victory when they host Real Betis.
After a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid's fans anticipated a strong start to their La Liga campaign with Kylian Mbappe joining the squad. However, both Real Madrid and Mbappe have faced some setbacks, including a 1-1 draw in their league opener against Mallorca.
Real Madrid will aim to get back to winning ways in their home match on Sunday, with Mbappe looking for his first La Liga goal. However, this task could be challenging given their recent tendency to draw against Betis, including their last three encounters.
Betis have had a busy start to the season, juggling league play with the Europa Conference League playoffs. They began with a 1-1 draw against Girona and then secured a 2-0 win over Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih. Following a goalless draw with Alaves in their second-leg playoff, Betis won 3-0 against Kryvbas in the return leg, ensuring their place in the UEFA competition's main draw for the fourth consecutive season.
Betis will look to keep their unbeaten streak going in Sunday's match and might be hopeful of earning at least a point, given their recent form in away games against Real Madrid, where four of their last five encounters ended in draws. They will also be aiming for their first victory at the Santiago Bernabeu since May 2019.
