Real Madrid vs Real Betis Predictions

Can Real Madrid Break Down Real Betis’ Stubborn Defence at the Bernabéu?

• Real Madrid have averaged 18.3 shots per game, with 7.3 on target, indicating their relentless attacking approach.
• Betis have kept a clean sheet in their last three matches across all competitions, underlining their defensive solidity.
• Both teams have combined to average 12 corners per game this season, suggesting a high corner count is likely.

Best Bet

Real Madrid are set to host Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu this Sunday, with both teams aiming to improve upon their early-season form. While Madrid have had a mixed start, marked by draws in their first two away fixtures and a solid win against Real Valladolid at home, Betis are still searching for their first La Liga victory, having drawn their opening two matches. The stage is set for a competitive clash, with Madrid keen to assert their dominance on home turf and Betis aiming to spoil the party by frustrating the hosts as they have done in recent encounters.

Considering the form and statistics, the best bet for this encounter is for Real Madrid to win and both teams to score. Although Real Madrid have been formidable at home, winning eight of their last nine league matches at the Bernabéu, they haven’t been entirely impenetrable defensively. This season, Madrid have averaged 0.7 goals conceded per game, indicating that while their defence is strong, it’s not unbreachable.

Real Betis, on the other hand, despite their struggles to secure a win, have shown a propensity to find the back of the net, particularly through set-pieces. With Betis scoring in two out of their last three competitive matches, they pose a real threat, especially with players like Aitor Ruibal and Abde Ezzalzouli who have been in good form. Real Madrid’s defence will have to be alert, but given their attacking firepower—featuring the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior—it’s highly likely that Madrid will score multiple goals. The potential for both teams to score is significant, especially considering Madrid’s recent history of allowing their opponents to score in similar fixtures.

“Given Real Madrid’s attacking prowess and Betis’ resilience, backing Madrid to win while expecting both teams to score provides excellent value. Betis are capable of exploiting any defensive lapses, while Madrid’s home advantage should see them through.” — BettingTips4You.com expert, Luca Pratesi.

Additional Prediction

Another prediction that fits well with the flow of the game is for there to be over 10.5 corners in the match. Real Madrid are a team that frequently generates a high number of corners due to their aggressive, attack-minded playstyle. This season, they’ve averaged 6 corners per game, a figure bolstered by their penchant for long shots and crosses, especially when they dominate possession as they are expected to do against Betis.

Betis, too, are no strangers to winning corners, averaging 6 per game this season. Given their strategy of sitting deep and counter-attacking, they often find themselves earning corners through quick breaks and set-piece opportunities. The combined corner stats for both teams suggest that exceeding the 10.5 mark is highly plausible, particularly in a match where Real Madrid will likely be pushing forward consistently, while Betis look to exploit the counter.
