The friendly match between Middlesbrough and Real Betis will take place at SMH Group Stadium on Saturday at 6:30 pm IST.
Middlesbrough’s build-up to the 2023-24 Championship season will advance as they face Spanish team Real Betis in Chesterfield on Saturday afternoon. Middlesbrough comes into the match following a successful 2-0 win against Rotherham United, whereas Real Betis experienced a setback, losing 3-1 to Monaco in their second friendly match of the summer.
Since taking over as head coach at Middlesbrough in October last year, Michael Carrick has done an outstanding job. The team’s performance in the previous season showcased their progress, achieving 18 wins, five draws, and 10 defeats from 33 matches. Despite finishing fourth in the league and qualifying for the playoffs, Boro’s dreams of a Premier League return were dashed when they were defeated by Coventry City in the semi-finals.
Real Betis has already played two matches during the summer, enduring 3-1 defeats against Eintracht Braunschweig and Monaco. Their busy pre-season schedule includes four more games lined up. Following this match, the team from Seville will be facing Burnley, Sevilla, and Real Sociedad in subsequent friendlies before commencing their 2023-24 La Liga campaign with an away game against Villarreal on August 13. Real Betis finished sixth in La Liga last season, securing qualification for the group stage of the 2023-24 Europa League.
Middlesbrough probable starting lineup: Dieng, Smith, Barlaser, Van den Berg, Bilongo, Payero, Hackney, Crooks, Silvera, Forss, Hoppe
Real Betis probable starting lineup: Silva, Ruibal, Felipe, Montoya, Abner, Roca, Carvalho, Perez, Roca, Juanmi, Iglesias
