The current leaders in La Liga will be back in domestic action this weekend, as Real Madrid make the trip to Real Betis. Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be looking to record a fourth straight win to open up a three-point advantage over Girona.
Before Betting On Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid have made an excellent start to the La Liga season this term, as the Spanish giants currently lead the standings after winning 12 of their opening 15 matches. However, they could face a fight to secure the top-flight title, as Girona are their unlikely closest competitors, as they currently sit level on points with Madrid.
Real Betis will likely be a challenging opponent for Real Madrid this weekend, as they come into the round after going five matches without defeat. However, two of their three previous matches have ended in draws. Only a return to winning ways this weekend will see them move into the top six places and within striking distance of the Champions League spots.
Betis will need to change their fortunes in this fixture, as they haven’t won in their last six matches against their rivals. However, three of the matches over that period have ended in draws. Draws have been a common trend already this term, as they have played out seven in their opening 15 matches. That is the joint-most that they have recorded at this stage of the season in their history.
Real Madrid have enjoyed their trips to Betis, as they have won on five of their last seven visits. Meanwhile, they haven’t lost on each of their 16 trips to the Andalusia region in the league. Their defensive record has been incredibly strong this term, as they have kept eight clean sheets. That is the most shutouts that they have managed at this stage of the season since the 2009-10 campaign.
