While the clash with Real Betis doesn't provide the same anticipation as that against Real Sociedad, the pressure will be the same on Real Madrid to deliver, with a victory all that matters for Zinedine Zidane's side that for the second match in succession starts seven points off Barcelona.
Zidane had the same message ahead of the Betis match that he has offered before other recent games at Bernabeu: "We need to have full intensity during 90 minutes," and he now faces a coach in Setien who has enjoyed success against him by taking four points off Madrid last season with Las Palmas.
