Real Madrid vs Betis Prediction & Betting tips
The Spanish title fight is unprecedentedly exciting, so Real Madrid can afford absolutely no point loss on Saturday evening in its own Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. Opponent Real Betis, with a sixth place, is also working on a great season, and is in the race for European football.
Real Madrid:
In the eyes of the bookies, number three Real Madrid is just a dangerous outsider for title proliferation in LaLiga, behind the top favorites (and current numbers one and two) Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona. The Spanish record champion is in top form, however, and had no problems with Cadiz on Wednesday evening with a convincing 0-3 victory. Partly thanks to a doblete from Karim Benzema, the final score was already on the scoreboard at half time, after which the visitors took their foot off the accelerator in the second half.
It was perfectly logical that Real Madrid took it a bit easier in and against Cadiz after the tea, because the playing calendar is currently overcrowded. De Koninklijke does not have much time to catch his breath, because the first game against Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League awaits next Tuesday. Zidane does not have many opportunities to rotate, however, because various important players are in the rags basket with Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy and Toni Kroos, among others.
Real Betis:
After years of doom and gloom, the Real Betis supporters can finally walk the streets with their breasts forward. With a sixth place, the green and white from Seville are on track to participate in the Europa League. In addition, they managed to remain unbeaten in no fewer than nine of their last ten league matches, although the last four games all ended in a draw. Still, Real Betis felt the moral winner last Wednesday after the scoreless draw against Athletic Bilbao, as it was more than eighty minutes on the field with one man less. Nabil Fekir was sent off after just eleven minutes.
Real Betis will have to do without one of its star players on Saturday evening in Madrid. With four goals and five assists, only Sergio Canales has been involved with Real Betis goals more often this season, so the lack of the Frenchman is a big loss. Trainer Manuel Pellegrini will therefore make changes to his starting eleven anyway, with Diego Lainez, Andres Guardado and club icon Joaquin explicitly applying for a basic place.
