The newly signed Turkish star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao are also back in training with the first team.
With these players making a comeback in the first team, Jose Mourinho will have the option to rest the players who were out on international duty. Players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045, Cristiano Ronaldo, Semi Khedira and others who have been playing a lot of
football lately, are going to be rested by the Portuguese tactician.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, Gonzalo Higuain.
Team News: Real Betis
Real Betis are not currently having any injury problems except Mario. Even though they lost the last game against Levante and managed to drop down to the seventh position, Betis are going to give it their best in order to take back the top spot in the league.
Madrid is going to be a tough task for the newly promoted side. The Spanish side is going to try and take advantage of the fact that Mourinho has tired players in their team. The coach Pepe Mel is going to opt for the same line-up which he opted for against
Levante.

Casto; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roque-Santa-Cruz-c31778.
Predictions:
Real Madrid are the favourites to win this game. Mourinho is going to try and play it safe and might want his side to score early goals in order to take early advantage. Betis are going to try and play usual visiting football and try to counter the home
team. Madrid are currently not so strong on the attack but with the inclusion of Pepe they might get back the defensive strength they lacked for a few weeks. The probable score line for this game is 3-1 in favour of Madrid.
