Sports Mole looks at Karim Benzema's record against Real Betis ahead of Real Madrid's La Liga clash with Manuel Pellegrini's men.

Karim Benzema is expected to lead the Real Madrid line in Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Betis.

The 35-year-old has had his fitness problems during the 2022-23 campaign but has still had a productive season, scoring 18 goals and registering five assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.

In La Liga, the Frenchman has 11 goals and three assists in 14 appearances, and Los Blancos will be looking to the experienced forward for inspiration in Sunday's match with Manuel Pellegrini's side.

Real Madrid will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti's side are currently seven points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, who will have the chance to move 10 clear when they host struggling Valencia on Sunday afternoon.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Benzema has performed against Real Betis in the past.

Benzema has faced Real Betis on 19 occasions during his professional career, with all of those matches taking place in Spain's top flight over the last 11 years.

The striker has a record of 12 wins, four draws and three defeats against the Green and Whites, while he has scored eight times and registered three assists in the process.

Benzema's first-ever appearance against Real Betis came in 2012, when he was a late substitute in a 3-2 Los Blancos victory, with Cristiano Ronaldo hitting a brace during that particular contest.

The Frenchman's first goal against the Seville outfit came during the 2012-13 season, meanwhile, scoring and providing an assist in a 3-1 home success for the capital giants.

Benzema actually registered in six straight matches against Real Betis between 2013 and 2016, but he has only found the back of the net twice in his last 11 appearances versus Sunday's opponents.

The striker's last goal against Real Betis came in a 2-1 loss for Real Madrid in 2020, failing to register in his last five matches with the Seville outfit.

Earlier this season, Benzema played the full 90 minutes of what was a 2-1 victory for Ancelotti's team at Bernabeu, with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo on the scoresheet for the champions.

Of Benzema's eight goals against Real Betis, five of those have been away from home, but he has found it difficult to show his best form against Los Verderones in recent years.
