Real Madrid team news and predicted lineup vs Real Betis

Real Madrid head to Real Betis in La Liga this evening knowing only a win will be enough to keep them in contention for the title.

Alvaro Arbeloa’s side have fallen nine points adrift of Barcelona in the title race, with just six games to go. Los Blancos are up against it to overhaul their eternal rivals, but will hope to put the pressure on with three points this evening.

Betis are fifth in the table, a position that could deliver Champions League football. Spain currently hold second place in UEFA’s seasonal co-efficient table and are on course for an additional place in the competition.

Alvaro Arbeloa remains without some big names, most notably Thiabaut Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper remains sidelined with a thigh issue, so Andriy Lunin will again deputise in goal.

Rodrygo remains a long-term absentee with an ACL injury that has also ended his World Cup hopes. The Brazilian has been joined in the treatment room by Eder Militao and Arda Guler, whose seasons is over. However, there is optimism that the duo can both return in time for the World Cup this summer.

Elsewhere, Raul Asencio could return to the squad after illness.
