Real Betis captain Juanito insists his side can pull off a shock when they host runaway Primera Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday. Betis face a rampant Real side who are full of confidence after their 7-0 thumping of Real Valladolid last week sent them eight points clear at the summit.ut Juanito believes his side can get back to winning ways against the league's form team after two straight defeats.They're in great form,'' he told official club webite www.realbetisbalompie.es.But they're not invincible.The best thing to do will be to attack them with the intention that players as quick as they have don't have space.It is the best Madrid team of the past few years, better than the team that won the league last year. They are the strongest team.''etis coach Paco Chaparro's honeymoon period is well and truly over after after losing back-to-back games against Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia.rior to those defeats Chaparro had lost just once in seven matches since taking over from Hector Cuper and Betis were inching clear of the drop zone. But the Verdiblancos now find themselves back in danger, in 16th place and only a point above the bottom three. Nevertheless, Chaparro is remaining upbeat ahead of Real's visit.We have a plan and if we don't stick to it we could pay like Valladolid did,'' But the players know what they have to do.bove all what must happen is that they don't score because they will create chances.And on our part, when we have a chance we have to take it or at least score before them.Against Valladolid they scored seven and over Villarreal five.Looking at those results, and others, we don't have any other option than to play against them as we must.But we will go out there with the excitement and desire to win.''n addition to long-term absentees David Rivas and Toni Doblas, Nano and Fernando are also out injured for Betis but defender Melli returns from suspension.eal, meanwhile, have been rocked by an injury to midfielder Wesley Sneijder, who broke a rib in training this week and is set to be ruled out for between four and six weeks. However, the visitors will be boosted by the return of striker Ruud van Nistelrooy from injury, while Gabriel Heinze, Sergio Ramos and Miguel Torres have all resumed training and could feature.
