Arsenal continue their preparations for the 2026/27 season with a friendly clash against La Liga side Real Betis on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners began their pre-season campaign with a 4-1 win over Girona last time out. Kai Havertz opened the scoring before Christos Tzolis got off the mark with a debut goal. Arnau Martínez pulled one back for the hosts, but Max Dowman and Gabriel Jesus found the back of the net shortly after to seal a convincing victory.
Mikel Arteta will be eager for his side to make it two wins from two in their friendlies ahead of returning home to close out their pre-season campaign ahead of the new season while Betis will be looking to build on their recent triumphs over Almería and Lyon.
Here's our preview of Arsenal's friendly clash with Real Betis.

How to watch Arsenal vs Real Betis

Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta could be tempted to stick with what went well against Girona and make similar substitutions to those in Spain.
Christian Nørgaard will be absent as he closes in on a move to Everton so Myles Lewis-Skelly will likely line up alongside Ethan Nwaneri and Kai Havertz in the midfield.
Gabriel Martinelli has returned to training, but Christos Tzolis could be given the nod once again on the left wing and his Brazilian counterpart may be brought in as a substitute. Gabriel Magalhães is also back available and he could take Piero Hincapié's place at left centre back.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Real Betis: Kepa; White, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri, Havertz; Dowman, Gyökeres, Tzolis
Real Betis team news
Diego Llorente should be available after coming off against Almería due to muscular fatigue so could be involved from the off.
Isco received his first minutes of pre-season in the win over the Andalusian side and is likely to start against Arsenal. Meanwhile, the Gunners could be set for a reunion with Hector Bellerin, as the right back starts tomorrow.
Predicted Real Betis lineup vs Arsenal: Gonzalez; Bellerin, Llorente, Gomez, Firpo; Roca, Corralejo; Antony, Isco, Fornals; Petit
Arsenal vs Real Betis score prediction
Arsenal made light work of Segunda División side Girona, but Betis will likely provide a tougher task than their Catalan counterparts.
With Arteta focused on giving his players minutes once again, a win won't be of the utmost priority, but the Gunners should confidently be the favourites in Dublin tomorrow.
It will be a slightly tighter affair than Saturday's clash in Spain, but Arsenal will take the win at the Aviva Stadium.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Real Betis
