Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Real Betis suffered their second loss in three matches as the team dropped a close 0-1 game to Real Sociedad at the Anoeta Stadium during their most recent game on Sep. 30, as per the Business Standard.
After a goalless first half of play, Mexican forward Carlos Vela scored the only goal of the match in the 63rd minute with a close range left-footer off an assist from teammate Mikel Oyarzabal.
The loss was the third of the season for head coach Gus Poyet's side and the fourth winless performance in their last six matches.
Los Verdiblancos is currently at the 15th spot of the 20-team Spanish top flight table after seven rounds of competitions. They are tied on points with Deportivo La Coruna and Malaga, but the two squads have a higher goal difference than the Béticos.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid was held to a draw for the third straight time as they settled for a 1-1 tie versus middling squad Eibar at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Oct. 2, Sports Mole reported.
Spanish midfielder Fran Rico broke the deadlock for Los Armeros right in the sixth minute of the match to gain the early lead over the hosts.
Los Blancos managed to find the equalizer 11 minutes later with a glorious header from Gareth Bale off a magnificent Cristiano Ronaldo cross.
Ronaldo danced past a couple of Eibar defenders on the left side before flicking a high cross towards the net which bounced off the head of Bale for the goal.
The game went scoreless from then on, though, which slumped Real Madrid to its third consecutive drawn match.
Head coach Zinedine Zidane's team lost their position at the top to Atletico Madrid as they were only able to gain one point from the game.
