Real Betis vs Real Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | March 5th 2023
Real Betis will entertain Real Madrid at the Estadio Benito Villamarín in La Liga on Sunday.
The hosts have seen an upturn in form and have recorded three wins on the spin in the league. In their previous outing, they produced a strong display against Elche, scoring three goals in the second half to overturn a two-goal deficit.
Borja Iglesias, Juan Miranda, and Willian José came on as second-half substitutes and turned the outcome of the game on its head.
Real Madrid are winless in their last two games in all competitions. They played out a 1-1 draw against local rivals Atletico Madrid last Saturday and fell to a 1-0 defeat at home in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals on Thursday.
They trail league leaders Barcelona by seven points in the league table and will need to return to winning ways if they are to keep pressure on the Catalans.

Real Betis vs Real Madrid Prediction
The Verdiblancos have picked up four wins in their last six league outings and have scored three goals apiece in three of their last four games. They head into the game after three back-to-back wins and look to be in good touch at the moment.
Betis are winless against Real Madrid since Manuel Pellegrini took over the job as the club's manager in 2020 and might struggle in this match.
Los Blancos have a solid record against the hosts and are currently on a five-game unbeaten run. They are winless in their last two games in all competitions and will be gunning to return to winning ways.
While Madrid's record against Betis makes them the favorites, the hosts head into the game on a three-game winning run and will not go down without a fight. With that in mind, we expect the two teams to play out a high-scoring draw.
