Match Overview
Real Betis came into this match fully loaded with a 3 to 2 win against Girona. With that result, they were able to come back to the Europa League, that alone ended their hopes of making it into the international league for the season. In local leagues, but, they are still strong & are currently sitting in 5th place in the table.
Their home win has been one of their top strengths. Losing not many of their last matches at home this season, Betis have made their pitch a tough place for teams that are coming to visit. That might affect the match against a Real Madrid side that has not always found these games easy.
Currently Real Madrid are second in the league, going after Barcelona. Their last 2-1 victory over Alaves has helped them bounce back from a short period of not winning in any game. Even though they are still backward when it comes to the title race, they are not taking chances on dropping from the league table.
Even with a strong league season, Madrid’s season has been up and down. Their Champions League exit has brought about doubt, but they aim on finishing the season strongly. Their away record is good, giving them the boldness to be part of this match.
