Real Madrid come into this match having gone through quite a difficult season. They are sitting in third place, but they have gone through three managers and have undoubtedly had a ‘failure’ overall. That’s just the way it is in Spain’s capital, and it will always be that way, such are the expectations. Third, especially behind Barcelona and Atletico, just is not good enough, and they will certainly be given little choice but to improve next term after 11 losses already.
Real Betis come into this match in a very solid tenth place ahead of this final fixture of the Spanish league season. They have picked up 47 points so far, putting them well above the potential of facing the drop. They did pick up a win in their last match, but it was the only win they have gotten over the last five matches. They have only four points over that stretch as well, indicating that they are not closing out their season on the strongest of terms.
Los Blancos enter this match with the league’s third highest league points total so far with 40 points taken from 18 matches. On the surface this looks great, and it is, but Atletico and Barca, their chief rivals, have gained eight points on them, helping to underline why the advantage is what it is currently. That being said, they have only let in 13 goals at the Bernabeu and have won each of their last five games.
Los Verdiblancos have not had the greatest away record this term. There is nothing to boast about, with them taking just 18 points from their 18 matches so far. They have lost ten of those 18 and won just five, so it’s been a real struggle for them and one that has required a lot of good form at home. In their last five games, they have only one point, with four losses occurring in a row now.
No for both sides scoring can be had for 15/8 at Ladbrokes.
Betfair have Benzema scoring anytime at 1.72 odds.
Real Madrid are looking forward, very much, to next season, and with that there is sure to be the potential for a letdown. But Betis have been so poor on the road that it’s hard to see them taking a point, let alone a win.
Zinedine Zidane continues to be without defenders Sergio Ramos, Reguilon, and Alvaro Odriozola and goalkeeper Keylor Navas due to injuries. Center back Jesus Vallejo will miss out after seeing red last weekend in the loss at Sociedad.
Brahim Diaz is a very big star of the future for Real, and he got the opening goal last weekend, albeit in defeat to Sociedad, setting them up for the fall they eventually experienced. It was his first, of what they hope will be many, in eight appearances for the club this term. That goal was set up by French striker Karim Benzema, who has had prior big showings against Betis before. He has 21 goals and six assists to his name this season, despite not being very popular or rated by many in the football world.
Real Madrid have two losses, two wins, and a draw in their last five matches:
3-1 loss at Real Sociedad
3-2 home win vs Villarreal
1-0 loss at Rayo Vallecano
0-0 draw at Getafe
3-0 home win vs Athletic Bilbao
Quique Setien will be missing right back Antonio Baragan and attacking midfielder Sergio Canales due to injuries as this season draws to a close.
With Antonio Sanabria no longer a part of the team, Betis need a new man to step in and make an impact going forward to upset the mighty Los Blancos. That man could just be Joaquin. He’s not a new name, by any means, but the winger still has the goods, showing that last weekend with a double to end their recent drought. Providing him with the second was Gio Lo Celso, the former PSG man. The midfielder has a lot of upside to his game, and it was a big moment for him to set up such a late, dramatic winner.
Real Betis have a win, three losses, and a draw in their last five matches:
2-1 home win vs Huesca
1-0 loss at Eibar
1-1 home draw vs Espanyol
4-0 loss at Levante
1-2 home loss vs Valencia
