The preseason features another set of matches this week as Real Betis take on Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in an interesting encounter at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Manchester United vs Real Betis Preview
Real Betis finished in seventh place in the La Liga standings last season and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Andalusian outfit slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool this week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Manchester United, on the other hand, finished in eighth place in the Premier League table last season and have not been at their best in recent months. The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.

Manchester United vs Real Betis Prediction
Manchester United have a formidable squad at their disposal but are yet to come together as a unit under Erik ten Hag. Rasmus Hojlund found the back of the net against Arsenal and will look to add to his goal tally in this fixture.
Real Betis can pull off an upset on their day and gave a good account of themselves against Liverpool. Manchester United are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
