Big test for Madrid and Betis

Team News:

- Real Madrid: Raphael Varane (injured); Gareth Bale (suspended)

- Real Betis: Jonas Martin (injured)

Match Facts:

Real Madrid (2nd, 59 pts):

- A victory is the only acceptable outcome for the capital club if they are to keep the pressure on in their bid for the LaLiga Santander title, after they drew 3-3 with UD Las Palmas in their last match at the Santiago Bernabeu and ceded the top spot in the table to FC Barcelona.

- Los Blancos are the only top-flight team yet to lose at home (P13, W10, D3). Zinedine Zidane's charges will be hoping that this fact and the support of their fans will see them through.

- A win, a draw and a defeat are the latest results of Victor Sanchez del Amo's men, who will be looking for an assuaging victory in this clash to boost their confidence levels and help them rediscover their consistency.

- Los Verdiblancos will be determined to break with past form and not leave empty-handed against Real Madrid, having only won on five of their last 58 visits to Madrid's ground.
