The white team faces a crucial commitment this Friday at the Estadio de La Cartuja. At 9:00 PM, they will play against Real Betis, who are under pressure to consolidate their league position. The Madrid team needs a victory to stay in the fight for LaLiga EA Sports and prevent FC Barcelona from relaxing in the final stretch of the championship.
This will be the third time in just over a month and a half that Real Madrid plays on a Friday, an unusual circumstance in their schedule. Unlike other occasions, this change is not intended to provide rest for the Champions League but rather to accommodate calendar adjustments. The objective is to arrive at the Clásico on May 10 at Spotify Camp Nou with a chance to delay the Catalan team's title celebration as much as possible.
“"The competitive obligation demands that the 15-time European champion maintain a high level and not let up in their away matches."
The team must deliver a convincing performance after the discreet 2-1 victory achieved last Tuesday against Deportivo Alavés, which was met with a somewhat cold reception at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match in La Cartuja will mark the beginning of a series of three consecutive away games for Real Madrid, who will not return to the Santiago Bernabéu until May 14. Between the visit to Betis and the clash against FC Barcelona, they will also face RCD Espanyol, who are fighting for survival, adding an extra layer of difficulty to their schedule.
Although Real Madrid will arrive in Seville during the Feria de Abril, the festive atmosphere should not distract Real Betis, who regained momentum with their recent 2-3 victory in Montilivi. That triumph ended a poor run of results that had culminated in their elimination from the Europa League, a competition that had generated great expectations among the Betis fans.
