Real Madrid have no more margin for error in La Liga's title race.

Victories for both Clasico clubs in midweek maintained Barcelona's nine-point lead at the top of the table.

Alvaro Arbeloa's men beat Alaves on Tuesday and this trip to take on Real Betis is the first of three consecutive away games, culminating in a huge showdown with Barca on May 10.

Nothing less than three points will do if their fading title bid is to remain on track for that match.

Real Betis are still in European contention but have suffered a dreadful slump in form over recent weeks. A 3-2 win at Girona on Tuesday ended a run of seven LaLiga matches without victory, while a shocking second leg collapse at home to Braga ended their hopes of Europa League glory.
