Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Real Madrid and Real Betis at the Bernabeu.
Real are off the pace in the early stages of the season due to dropping points at home against Valencia and Levante. Zinedine Zidane's men have bounced back by defeating Real Sociedad on the road, while they won their opening Champions League match against APOEL with ease.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Betis have had an inconsistent start to the term. Quique Setien's men lost their opener to Barcelona, but were able to respond with a win over Celta de Vigo. Despite taking the lead against Villarreal they lost the fixture 3-1 on the road, but did record their second victory of the term by beating Deportivo at the weekend.
REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Isco, Bale, Ronaldo.
Real subs: Nacho, Casilla, Vazquez, Llorente, Asensio, Mayoral, Ceballos.
Betis subs: Gimenez, Navarro, Amat, Leon, Boudebouz, Joaquin, Guardado.
Zidane has made three changes from his side's win over Sociedad last time out. Cristiano Ronaldo comes back into the fold to lead the line after serving the final match of his suspension. Toni Kroos and Marcelo also come into the team as Borja Mayoral and Marco Asensio drop to the bench.
Despite scoring a match-winning brace against Deportivo, Joaquin has been rested this evening. He is one of four changes from the victory at the weekend. Antonio Sanabria, Cristian Tello, Francis Guerrero and Fabian Ruiz all get the nod to start at the Bernabeu.
FLASHBACK! Zidane's men had to come from behind to beat Betis last season. Sanabria put the visitors ahead at the Bernabeu, but goals from Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos secured the win for the hosts, while Cristiano Piccini was sent off dismissed for Los Verdiblancos.
The players are out on the pitch so we should be underway shortly.
STAT ATTACK! Real have won 10 out of their last 12 league matches against Betis.
There will be a moment of silence for the victims of the Mexico City earthquake before kick-off
HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-0 REAL BETIS
It's goalless at the break at the Bernabeu and it has been another frustrating contest for Real Madrid on home soil. It could have been worse for them had Dani Carvajal not cleared Antonio Sanabria's effort off the line. The home side have missed a host of good chances in front of goal as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Isco and Luka Modric have failed to hit the back of the net. Zinedine Zidane will be demanding an improvement at the break.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway again shortly.
FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-1 REAL BETIS
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
WOW! Real Madrid have now dropped seven points from their opening three home matches of the season. That is stunning as Barcelona hold a seven-point lead in the early stages of the campaign. Real Betis were dogged and determined at the back to thwart Zinedine Zidane's men, capitalising on their poor finishing. The visitors grew in confidence towards the end of the match and were rewarded when Antonio Sanabria headed home to secure the three points. It is their first win at the Bernabeu since 1998.
