The opponents have played each other only once, back in 2005, in the Champions League group stage. Liverpool won 2-1 away and drew 0-0 at home.
Liverpool
Liverpool likely aimed to compete for the championship title in the English Premier League last season but fell short. The Reds finished third, losing their chances for the title long before the end of the season. At the end of the season, Jürgen Klopp left the team, and Arne Slot was appointed in his place.

Real Betis
Real Betis performed poorly last season and failed to meet their objectives. The squad had the potential to compete for a Europa League spot, but a series of mistakes in the final stretch left them in seventh place in the table. In their last friendly match, Betis thrashed Austria Salzburg 5-1.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Liverpool begins their preparation for the new season in the USA under the guidance of their new head coach. There will likely be many experiments today. Real Betis is more cohesive and has already played several friendly matches; the "green-and-whites" will likely be aggressive in attack and won't be left without goals. Meanwhile, Liverpool, in any lineup, is quite capable of responding.
We believe the match will be high-scoring. Our prediction is a total of over 3.5 goals. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.99.
Liverpool will be missing several important players today, and the lineup will probably be far from their strongest. However, Betis also has personnel issues, and their bench isn't as deep or high-quality, so there will likely be room for experiments. It makes sense to favor the Reds.
Our bet is a Liverpool victory. This outcome is offered at 2.25.
