Real Betis
Real Madrid
Contents
- Competition: La Liga
- Date: 9th December 2023
- Kickoff: 15:15 UTC / 16:15 CET
- Venue: Benito Villamarín
This weekend, Real Madrid will be traveling to the south of Spain to play against seventh-placed Real Betis, in an effort to keep their Spanish top-flight winning chances alive.
Since their 0-5 disgraceful defeat to Barcelona on match day five, the hosts have been a formidable force. Manuel Pellegrini’s squad is entering this weekend’s game high on confidence, having dodged defeat in their previous ten games in La Liga. Though only four of those games resulted in victory, the fact that the Greens managed to keep a clean sheet four times during this period will certainly be a morale booster. This will be especially crucial as they prepare to face Real, known for their lethal prowess in the final third.
Last season, Real Madrid lost the La Liga title to Barcelona by a margin of ten points, but the team from Madrid appears resolute to win back the title this season. Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has only been defeated once in all the competitions they have played this season, placing them at the top of the Spanish top flight table and their Champions League Group. However, only goal difference sets them apart from Girona, who is second in the league. As a result, Real Madrid will not want to lose any points in their upcoming match this weekend.
Real Betis vs Real Madrid Betting Tips: Real Madrid to win and Under 2.5 goals
Despite Betis being in the upper half of the league table, they have struggled to score goals recently. It took a last-minute goal from Iglesias during midweek to secure a victory over Villanovense in the Copa del Rey. In their last five matches, Betis has scored less than 1.5 goals per game. Furthermore, four out of these five matches concluded with less than 2.5 goals.
In four out of their last five games, Real Madrid managed to net at least three goals. However, they usually find it challenging to score against Betis. During the past five encounters between these two teams, Real Madrid, also known as Los Blancos, have only exceeded one goal in a single game.
We believe that Carlo Ancelotti’s team, despite only winning two of their previous games, possesses sufficient quality to secure a full three-point victory this Saturday.

Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid, having had no mid-week action, will have their players rejuvenated for this game. However, Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurélien Tchouaméni are still dealing with injuries.
The treatment room of Los Blancos also hosts Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militão, who has a ruptured cruciate ligament, as well as Kepa Arrizabalaga with an adductor injury.
The goals have been shared since Benzema’s departure to the Saudi Arabian professional league, but Jude Bellingham is the standout player with eleven league goals and two assists.
