Just In: Real Betis v Burnley: Kick-off time, Line Ups, videos & how you can watch as Vincent Kompany reunites with ex-Manchester City boss

Burnley will be looking to pick up from where they left off when they take on Real Betis in pre-season action this evening.

Vincent Kompany’s men recorded an impressive 2-0 win against Benfica on Tuesday night thanks to goals from

Owen Dodgson and Hjalmar Ekdal.

The Clarets were well worth their victory in Lisbon against the Portuguese champions, who named a strong XI that included

the likes of Angel Di Maria, Joao Mario and Goncalo Ramos.

Burnley are now preparing to play their penultimate friendly of the summer against a Betis side that finished sixth in La Liga

last season.

They are managed by Kompany’s former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who has been in charge of the Green and

Whites since 2020.

Having won five of their six friendlies so far this summer, the Clarets will be hoping to continue their good form ahead of

that all-important opener on Friday, August 11, when Kompany’s former side – the reigning champions, Pep Guardiola’s

treble winners – come to Turf Moor.

Here’s everything you need to know about this evening’s encounter:

The match is not taking place at Betis’ home ground, but instead in the Spanish city of Huelva at the Estadio Nuevo

Colombino. Kick-off is at 6.15pm UK time.

Is the friendly being streamed?

Yes, it is being shown by Clarets+. Supporters in the UK, Ireland or Channel Islands will be able to buy a match pass for

£4.99 to watch live footage of the game.

“We won trophies together so that always creates a bond as you’ve done something special together.

“He had me as a player and now I’m ageing a bit now so I’ll be on the touchline and it will be nice to see him and share some

special memories.

“His team have done really well in La Liga and it will be good to see where we are at against a top European side.”

Burnley’s Nathan Tella Interest Ends After New Signing

A couple of months ago Saints supporters assumed that Nathan Tella would be heading back to the Premier League, not with

Saints but with Burnley, however it seems that despite his big contribution to their promotion campaign with 17 goals, that

the Lancashire club’s hierarchy were not prepared to spent on signing him on a permanent basis.

Most sources agree that Tella’s value would be around £17 million, yet the highest that Burnley were prepared to go was £9

million. At that price Southampton were not listening.

Now it seems that their pursuit of the player is over, hot on the heels of the free transfer signing of former Saint Nathan

Redmond, the Mail Online has revealed that the Burnley pursuit of Tella is over after the signing of Jacob Bruun Larsen on

loan from Hoffenheim.

The article also claims that Larsen was also on Southampton’s radar.

That interest is now over and so it seems is Burnley’s interest in Nathan Tella, good news you would hope for Saints

supporters and notice that Saints are not willing to entertain offers for any of their players that do not come close to their

own valuation, in this case Burnley were only just offering half of Tella’s true value.
