On Sunday, September 1st, in the 4th round of La Liga, Real Madrid will face Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match kicks off at 20:30 Central European Time. The team of analysts at Dailysports has prepared predictions and betting tips for this encounter.
Real Madrid
Before the season began, few doubted that Real Madrid would once again claim the La Liga title. Carlo Ancelotti’s side was incredibly dominant last season, particularly in the final stages. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé in Madrid only strengthened those expectations.
However, the start of the season has been far from smooth for Los Blancos. Although they secured a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, their La Liga campaign has been disappointing. Real Madrid has only managed to collect 5 points from their first three matches. They drew 1-1 against Mallorca in the opener, followed by a 3-0 win at home against Valladolid, but then unexpectedly dropped points against Las Palmas with another 1-1 draw.
Kylian Mbappé has yet to find the back of the net, and one of the key talking points for the upcoming match is whether the Frenchman will score his debut La Liga goal.
Betis
Betis arrives in Madrid with two points from their opening games. In the first round, the Verdiblancos led at home against a surprising Girona, only to concede late and finish 1-1. In their second match, Betis was more aggressive away against Alavés but failed to break the hosts' goalkeeper.
Unlike Real, Betis has only played two La Liga matches so far. Last Thursday, Manuel Pellegrini’s side was engaged in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League playoff against Ukrainian club Kryvbas. Betis cruised to a 3-0 victory at home and followed it up with a 2-0 win away, easily advancing to the group stage of the competition.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Last season, Real Madrid and Betis played to two draws – 1-1 and 0-0.
- Real Madrid has won only 2 of their last 7 matches against Betis.
Real Madrid vs Betis prediction
There’s nothing more dangerous than an angry and highly motivated Real Madrid playing at home. Los Blancos are the clear favorites for this match, but I expect plenty of goals. My bet is on over 2.5 goals (TБ2,5).
