About Betis Deportivo Balompié
Betis play in the Segunda Federación, a league which includes many B sides of La Liga clubs and is split into five groups. The side managed by Alberto González finished 12th out of 18 teams last season in a campaign which saw Betis pick up 44 points in 34 games.
The side begin their competitive campaign on 3 September at home to Cádiz CF Mirandilla. They will also face AC Milan on 18 August in a friendly fixture a day before the B team face off against the young Milan side.
Getting back to it
Prior to arriving in Spain, the B team endured a pre-season schedule which saw Neil MacFarlane’s side play four times against the likes of Slough, Bristol Rovers, Hanwell Town and Chelsea as the Premier League Cup holders prepared for the new campaign.
