Preview

While Liverpool have been busy with the FA Cup final and a captivating Premier League title race, their Champions League final opponents Real Madrid have had a less hectic build-up to their showdown in Paris.

Real sealed the title in Spain with four matches to spare and Carlo Ancelotti rested key players Karim Benzema, Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Junior for last Sunday's 1-1 draw at lowly Cadiz.

A domestic suspension meant veteran schemer Luka Modric also had a breather last weekend and Real will take no chances with their star men in Friday's La Liga finale against Real Betis.

Like their hosts, Betis have had a memorable campaign, winning the Copa del Rey and lying fifth in the table going into the final round of fixtures.

They have lost only four of their 18 away matches in the Spanish top flight this term although three of their last five road trips have ended in 0-0 draws and they can pick up a point against a Real side already focusing on their Champions League clash with Liverpool.

Roma's players may also be somewhat distracted when they sign off their Serie A campaign at Torino.

Jose Mourinho's men beat Leicester in the Europa Conference League semi-finals and are hoping to become the inaugural winners of the competition when they face Feyenoord on Wednesday.

Roma still have a slender chance of pipping Rome rivals Lazio to fifth place in Serie A but they are winless in five league matches and were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend by relegated Venezia, who were reduced to ten men in the 32nd minute.

Torino have lost only one of their last eight matches, a 1-0 defeat to third-placed Napoli, and have taken points off Milan, Inter, Lazio and Atalanta since the start of March so they look a good draw-no-bet selection.
