Real Madrid, under new boss José Mourinho, are set to travel to Seville to take on Real Betis in a La Liga clash on September 4.
Mourinho returned to the Bernabéu this summer for a second spell in charge, 13 years after his first spell ended. He was brought back by club president Florentino Pérez to end a two-season trophy drought that saw Real Madrid finish without silverware under Xabi Alonso and caretaker boss Álvaro Arbeloa last season.
Mourinho's Madrid side, backed by one of the most expensive transfer windows in the club's history and featuring Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and a rebuilt defence with new arrivals Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Álvaro Carreras, are currently second in the early La Liga standings. They are behind defending champions FC Barcelona, and will be looking to build early momentum and close the gap at the top.
Meanwhile, Real Betis come into the fixture having added Ireland international Troy Parrott as a new attacking option this summer.
Manuel Pellegrini's side have had a good start to the campaign, sitting on the top half of the table, and will be eager to test themselves against a re-energised Real Madrid side on home soil at Estadio La Cartuja, a venue they have used for their biggest fixtures since redevelopment work at the Benito Villamarín.
Kickoff Time
The Real Betis vs Real Madrid match is scheduled to start at 12:30 a.m. Indian Standard Time on Saturday.
