Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Spanish La Liga match.
Real Betis
The side hasn’t lost a home game yet and they’re in the top 3 in the league in points taken (17). Only one home game out of nine didn’t see Real Betis scoring. The team approaches this match having a 6-game winning streak in all tournaments. Besides, it’s going to be a special game for one of the best playmakers in Europe – Isco (2 goals + 2 assists).
Real Madrid
Despite having many injured players, Real Madrid keep on performing well. They have taken 38 points in 15 La Liga rounds, taking leadership and also advancing to the Champions League play-offs. The side has won 5 consecutive games in all tournaments, scoring at least 3 goals in 4 of them.
Real Betis – Real Madrid prediction
Injuries still remain the main problem for Real Madrid. However, Kepa is already back, Tchouaméni should be in the squad soon too. However, Dani Carvajal, who has been performing very well, is now injured. Betis will use problems in their opponent’s defence, but they're unlikely to do anything with their offence. Besides Bellingham (11 goals + 2 assists), Rodrygo (6 goals + 4 assists) is on fire too. He has scored in 5 games in a row.
I don’t think that the sides will be careful, so we will see goals.
