Real Betis vs Real Madrid: La Liga Clash Preview

The La Liga clash between Real Betis and Real Madrid is scheduled for 24 April 2026 at Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla. Betis come into this Regular Season - 32 fixture sitting 5th with 49 points, goal difference 8, while Real Madrid are 2nd on 73 points with a goal difference of 37.

Real Betis Availability

Real Betis have several defensive concerns. Junior Firpo (Injury) is sidelined. Diego Llorente (Ankle Injury) is doubtful, and Ángel Ortiz (Shoulder Injury) is doubtful. Key creative figures such as Antony and A. Ezzalzouli, both among the league’s leading contributors for goals and assists, are available, preserving Betis’s main attacking threats.

Real Madrid Availability

Real Madrid face issues at both ends of the pitch. Rodrygo (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing an important attacking option. Raúl Asencio (Illness) is doubtful, T. Courtois (Thigh Injury) is doubtful, and Éder Militão (Injury) is doubtful, which could disrupt defensive stability and goalkeeping plans. Crucially, top scorer Kylian Mbappé and fellow attacking star Vinícius Júnior are available.

Impact Summary

Betis lose depth in defense but retain their primary attacking output through Antony and A. Ezzalzouli. Madrid’s potential absences in goal and central defense, plus Rodrygo’s confirmed loss, slightly trim their firepower, but with Mbappé (24 goals) and Vinícius Júnior (12 goals, 5 assists) fit, their attacking ceiling remains very high.
