Real Betis didn’t have a great pre-season, recording just one win from their six friendlies. Their only victory came up against Fiorentina last Sunday, courtesy of goals from  Juanmi, Borja Iglesias and Juan Miranda. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been relatively quiet in the summer market, with only Willian Jose, Luiz Henrique and Luiz Felipe arriving to boost the squad for the new campaign. The Green and Whites enjoyed their best league campaign last term since 2004-05, and would be hoping to challenge for a Champions League spot this time around.
