Real Madrid - Real Betis predictions

Real Madrid are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.46, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Real Betis stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 7.49 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Top online bookmakers agreed that Real Madrid had a decent shot at winning last week’s bout with Villarreal even though they were playing away. It seemed likely when they took the lead in the first half, but they ended up with a 4:4 tie score in the end.

The 0:2 result of Real Betis’s home match against Real Sociedad was expected by most online sportsbooks. Los Verdiblancos were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Real Madrid attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 La Liga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Betis and Real Madrid tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Real are still considered more likely to come out on top this Saturday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

William Carvalho, Guido Rodríguez, Germán Pezzella, Bartra, Isco, Cédric Bakambu, Chimy Ávila have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.38, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
