Betis – Real Madrid Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (5.3.2023)
Los Blancos head to Sevilla hoping to grab three points and keep pace with Barcelona in the title race. Beating Betis won’t be an easy task, as Los Verdiblancos have won three straight contests and continue to fight for Champions League qualification.
Betis vs. Real Madrid: Initial Situation
Betis are fifth in La Liga with 40 points (W12, D4, L7) and a 32:25 goal difference, just a couple of points behind Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid are second with 52 points (W16, D4, L3), trailing Barcelona by seven points.
Betis Stats & Form
Los Verdiblancos are coming off a 3-2 road victory over Elche in Round 23 of the 2022-23 La Liga season. After a 3-2 road win against Almeria and a 2-1 home victory versus Valladolid, Betis overcame a two-goal deficit in a wild clash at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in Elche. The hosts got three players sent off, and Willian Jose converted the penalty kick in injury time to lift Betis over Elche.
Willian Jose has scored five goals in 26 appearances so far this season. Borja Iglesias leads the way for Betis with ten goals and five assists in 27 games in all competitions, while Sergio Canales has accounted for six goals and a pair of dishes across 28 apps.
Real Madrid Stats & Form
Los Blancos are coming off Thursday’s 1-0 home defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid outshot their arch-rivals 13-4, but none of those 13 shots hit the target. Last weekend, Los Blancos drew 1-1 against Atletico Madrid at home to stop their five-game winning streak in all competitions. In their previous four league games away from home, Los Blancos have recorded a couple of wins and losses.
Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema have bagged 18 goals apiece so far this season. Federico Valverde has scored 12 goals thus far, while Rodrygo has ten goals and eight assists on his season tally. Rodrygo is questionable to play against Betis due to a hip injury.
Betis – Real Madrid: Head-to-Head
Real Madrid outlasted Betis 2-1 at home in their first meeting of the season. It was their third victory in five games against Los Verdiblancos along with a couple of draws. Los Blancos have emerged victorious in five of their previous six road matches versus Betis.
Betis – Real Madrid Odds
The bookmakers anticipate an exciting game and favor Real Madrid over Betis. Both Teams to Score pays 1.80 at bet365 Sportsbook which certainly seems tempting. Each of Betis’ last five matches has seen both teams score, and Real Madrid has conceded in three outings in a row.
Betis’ defense has struggled of late. Los Verdiblancos couldn’t record a clean sheet in five straight games overall and five consecutive showings at home. Over their last three home games, Betis have allowed seven goals, tallying two losses in the process. They’ve only won one of their previous seven home matches, so I’m backing Real Madrid to win. Los Blancos are arguably a better team than Betis. They’ll control the ball in the middle of the park and look to bounce back from that tough loss to Barcelona in Copa del Rey.
