Real Betis will now face one of their rivals in La Liga, Alaves, who were one of the 4 La Liga teams that lost in the first round. Real Betis will face this match with only three days of rest since they played on August 22 against Kryvbas from Slovakia.

Real Betis tied in the first round against Girona, repeating the 1-1 result obtained in the 18th round of the last edition of La Liga against Girona. Once again Real Betis could not beat Girona despite being ahead on the scoreboard for more than 60 minutes thanks to Barta's early goal. Girona took the ball away from Betis, Girona had 61% of the ball possession.

Real Betis will want to improve its offensive performance, in La Liga last year it was the team that scored the fewest goals in the top 8.

Alaves lost their debut 2-1 against Ceta, although they were not favourites it was a difficult way to start in La Liga after having had a very good and long preseason where they won 3, drew 3 and lost 1.

Alaves beat Real Betis in January for the Copa del Rey, but they have not managed a victory with them in La Liga since 2020.
