Real Madrid will be aiming to make it six straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Real Betis on Saturday afternoon.
Los Blancos have posted three successive victories in Spain's top flight, which has helped them regain first position in the table from surprise package Girona, while Real Betis occupy seventh position, picking up 25 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign.
Indeed, Manuel Pellegrini's side sit top of Group C on nine points, one clear of second-placed Rangers, while they are two clear of third-placed Sparta Prague, with the final fixtures taking place on December 14.
Real Betis boast a record of six wins, seven draws and two defeats from their 15 La Liga matches this season, which has seen them collect 25 points to sit seventh in the table, only three points behind fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao on the same number of games, but they were held to a goalless draw by basement side Almeria last time out.
Only the top three - Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona (all one) - have lost fewer league games than Real Betis this season, but too many draws have prevented them from pushing into the top four at this stage.
