Real Betis Aim for Third Straight Champions League Win Against Feyenoord

Real Betis can make it three Champions League wins from three when Feyenoord arrive at La Cartuja for Matchday 3, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side attempting to turn a perfect start into a commanding position in the league phase.

Team Champions League match Result
Real Betis Lille vs Real Betis 2-3
Real Betis Real Betis vs Porto 3-2
Feyenoord Feyenoord vs Barcelona Defeat
Feyenoord Feyenoord vs Como Win

Pellegrini’s Betis have won both of their European fixtures so far, first taking three points away to Lille before overcoming Porto in Seville. The Chilean coach now has the chance to guide the club to a third successive victory in the competition.

Feyenoord arrive on a winning sequence

Feyenoord recovered from their opening Champions League defeat to Barcelona by beating Como in the second round. That European response forms part of a run of five consecutive victories, including four in the Eredivisie.

La Cartuja therefore hosts a meeting between two sides with momentum in Europe: Betis protecting a 100 per cent record and Feyenoord seeking to build on their first continental win of the campaign.
