Match Analysis

Real Madrid comes into this match with a mixed set of results in their recent outings, having secured two wins against Sevilla and Alaves, and a surprising home defeat to Celta.

Final Prediction

Real Madrid's superior attacking metrics and strong league position give them a clear edge in this encounter. Their ability to consistently score goals, coupled with Betis' defensive vulnerabilities, could be decisive. A key factor to watch will be how Betis’ defense handles the relentless pressure from Real Madrid's front line, especially given the latter's impressive expected goals statistics.
