Team Conditions Ahead of the Match
Real Betis
Real Betis experienced disappointment in the Europa League last week after being eliminated in the quarter-finals by Braga, but they managed to return to winning ways in La Liga on Tuesday night by recording a 3-2 victory over Girona.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side have registered 12 wins, 13 draws, and seven defeats from 32 league matches this season, with a total of 49 points placing them fifth in the standings, five points ahead of Celta in the race for a Europa League spot.
The Seville-based side have collected 26 points from 15 home matches this season, suffering only three defeats in the process.
Real Betis recorded a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the corresponding fixture last season, but they also suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat against the capital side in the reverse fixture at the Bernabeu earlier in January.
El Glorioso have actually lost only twice in their last six league matches against Real Madrid, with three draws recorded during that period, including 0-0 and 1-1 results in Seville.
Real Madrid
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will enter this match following a 2-1 victory over Alaves, with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior each getting on the scoresheet for the capital side.
Los Blancos have managed to reduce the gap to league leaders Barcelona to six points, although the Catalan side have the opportunity to extend it back to nine points when they face Celta Vigo.
The task of reclaiming the top spot is not easy for Arbeloa’s side, but the win over Alaves was crucial as it came after a run of four matches without victory.
Real Madrid were also eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich last week and could potentially finish the season without a major trophy; the summer transfer window is expected to be busy for the club, including the possibility of appointing a new head coach.
Los Blancos have the second-best away record in La Liga this season, collecting 30 points from 15 matches, including nine victories.
Real Betis vs Real Madrid Lineups April 2026
Below is an overview of the predicted lineups for both teams that are expected to feature in this match, providing insight into the tactical approach and strength of each side on the pitch.
Real Betis (4-2-3-1)
From the perspective of the home squad condition, Real Betis will be reinforced by the return of Antony for this match after serving a suspension in the game against Girona.
Junior Firpo remains unavailable due to a muscle injury, while Diego Llorente and Angel Ortiz still need to undergo fitness assessments, but overall the home side are in relatively good condition.
Abde Ezzalzouli delivered an impressive performance against Girona and will once again occupy the left flank, while the return of Antony could potentially push Giovani Lo Celso to the bench.
Real Madrid (4-4-2)
From the Real Madrid side, Rodrygo remains sidelined long-term due to a serious knee injury, while this match also comes too soon for first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is still dealing with a thigh issue.
Raul Asencio has the opportunity to return to the squad after recovering from illness, but Eder Militao is ruled out due to the hamstring injury he sustained against Alaves, meaning Antonio Rudiger is likely to partner Dean Huijsen in central defense.
Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe will continue to lead the attack, while Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, and Aurelien Tchouameni will once again occupy the midfield. Arda Guler is also dealing with a hamstring injury that could potentially end his season earlier.
This match is predicted to be highly competitive considering both teams have significant objectives in the standings.
The Real Betis vs Real Madrid lineups for April 2026 indicate that both coaches will deploy their strongest available squads to secure maximum results.
