Preview: Real Betis vs. Real Madrid

Sports Mole previews Saturday's La Liga meeting between Real Betis and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will feel confident that they can continue their unbeaten run in La Liga when they travel to Real Betis on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have not lost any of their last nine league matches and beat Espanyol last weekend.

Betis prop up the table after losing four of their last six games, including last weekend's 2-1 reversal at the hands of Osasuna.

Both sides come into the match off the back of differing fortunes in the Copa del Rey in midweek, with Betis losing to Athletic Bilbao, while Real beat Osasuna 2-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.

Betis coach Juan Carlos Garrido could bring goalkeeper Stephan Andersen back into the side after the Dane was rested for the cup defeat to Bilbao.

Ancelotti is expected to recall Diego Lopez and Marcelo, while Luka Modric and Gareth Bale could start after the pair missed the midweek win over Osasuna.
