The two top teams in the Spanish top-flight lock horns at the Bernabeu trying to keep up their good run. Follow the match with this guide.

The action in La Liga carries on with what could arguably become one of the top games of the weekend. Real Madrid will return to the Bernabeu to host Real Betis in a game where both teams will be defending their unbeaten run after three matches.

The team led by Carlo Ancelotti will want to add a fourth win to their start of the season, but recent history has shown us that Betis have been a tough nut to crack for Los Blancos in their last matches, which means that it will take more than a smile to defeat the team from Andalucía. So far, Ancelotti has defeated Betis in three of his four previous games as coach, but things may not be as easy as expected for the Spanish giants this time around.

Real Betis, one of five teams that are yet to lose and the only one with a perfect record other than Real Madrid, make it to the Bernabeu with three wins to their name, two of them with a clean sheet. This time, the green and white crew will want to add one more unbeaten trip to Madrid, but it is imperative to see this one transform into three points to confirm them as potential title contenders.

Let's have a closer look at the main topics to keep an eye on ahead of this fixture.

Real Madrid vs Real Betis - Team news

Real Madrid started the season with three straight away games, which means this will mark their debut at home for the 2022-23 season. Los Merengues will want to keep the fun times going in front of their supporters, who will be eager to see Karim Benzema adding to his goalscoring tally, which is currently at three goals thanks to his brace from last week. Ancelotti's men are expected to field a similar lineup as the one that beat Espanyol, with Aurelién Tchouameni filling the void left by Casemiro in the holding midfielder position.

On the other side of the pitch, Betis return to the Bernabeu trying to keep their unbeaten run at the Spanish capital. Los Verdiblancos needed only one goal by Borja Iglesias, La Liga's top scorer so far, to earn a hard-fought win over Osasuna last week, where both teams were defending their unbeaten status. The team coached by Manuel Pellegrini managed to deal with La Liga's salary cap to add players such as Claudio Bravo and William Carvalho to their roster during deadline day, which may give them an added boost for this game.

Real Madrid - Doubtful: Nacho, Alvaro Odriozola.

Real Betis - Injured: Martín Montoya, Víctor Camarasa. Suspended: Germán Pezzella.
