La Liga: Real Betis vs Real Madrid Live
Preview
Real Madrid will be looking to secure their sixth consecutive victory in all competitions as they face Real Betis in their La Liga match on Saturday. Los Blancos have won their last three games in the Spanish top flight, allowing them to reclaim the top spot in the table from Girona. Meanwhile, Real Betis currently hold the seventh position with 25 points from their first 15 matches of the season.
Real Betis is coming into the upcoming match after securing a 2-1 win against Villanovense in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, allowing them to advance to the third round of the competition. They are also performing well in their Europa League group, currently leading Group C with nine points, one ahead of Rangers and two ahead of Sparta Prague. Real Betis has a record of six wins, seven draws, and two losses in their 15 La Liga matches this season, placing them seventh in the table with 25 points. Despite being only three points behind fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, they have been held back by too many draws preventing them from breaking into the top four.
Real Madrid recently won 2-0 against Granada in La Liga, with goals from Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo at Bernabeu. Despite missing key players due to injury, they have been in good form, winning their last five matches in all competitions, including two victories in the Champions League. They have secured their spot in the last-16 stage of the competition as Group C winners. Real Madrid will play Union Berlin in their final group-stage fixture, but it will be a pressure-free contest for them.
Since their loss to Atletico Madrid on September 24, they have won seven and drawn two of their nine matches in La Liga, accumulating 38 points and leading the table. They are four points ahead of third-placed Barcelona and will aim for three league wins against Real Betis, Villarreal, and Alaves before the winter break to strengthen their position in the table for the second half of the season.
Head-to-head
Real Madrid has not lost in their last three league matches against Betis, winning one and drawing two. Their most recent meeting last season ended in a 0-0 draw.
Prediction
Real Betis have the potential to achieve a favorable outcome in this game, and it wouldn’t be unexpected to see them win at home or even draw. However, Real Madrid is currently adept at winning matches, so we anticipate that Ancelotti’s team will narrowly triumph in Seville this weekend.
