Real Betis looks to regain its form

Manuel Pellegrini’s side continues preparing for a particularly demanding season, in which it will return to the Champions League after more than two decades away.

The Verdiblancos enter the match following a series of inconsistent preseason performances. The clash against Lyon will give Pellegrini another opportunity to assess the club’s new signings, academy players and those looking to establish themselves within the squad.

Lyon arrives with greater match sharpness

Olympique Lyonnais heads into the match with more playing time under its belt after featuring in several games throughout July.

The French side will use this test to continue integrating its new signings and fine-tuning its system ahead of its upcoming competitive fixtures.

Although the result will have no official consequences, the match will provide an important indication of the current condition of both teams.

Real Betis will look to produce a more solid and balanced performance, while Lyon will aim to maintain the competitive rhythm it has developed over the past few weeks. The return of the Trofeo Ciudad de La Línea after a five-year absence will add further appeal to the friendly.
