Real Madrid must try to win this match even though they are the visiting team. A victory will make Real Madrid even more in control of the standings if Barcelona manages to beat Girona. Real Madrid must work hard to beat Real Betis who are aiming to win to return to the top six. Real Madrid which is always consistent in La Liga, should not have any problems beating Betis, but if the home team uses a total defensive strategy by relying on counter attacks, Real Madrid will have difficulty breaking into Betis goal.
However, in fact, Real Madrid has really had difficulty breaking into Real Betis' goal so far. The second half has started, while the goalless score still remained until entering the 50th minute. I don't believe Real Madrid can beat Real Betis easily in this match, even if Real Madrid has had a good performance in the previous 15 La Liga matches.
Real Betis playing at home should not be underestimated like that by some fans, especially if they review the H2H in the last 2 seasons. The match will most likely end in a draw, but not 0-0.
Bellingham has finally broken the deadlock on the 43rd minutes with a wonderful finish as he got a good chance to be one on one with Betis goalkeeper. Betis tried their best to calm Madrid pressure till the 43rd minutes of the game. Madrid is now in control of the game and I hope to see more goals in this match.
Betis on the other hand is trying their best to see if they could put themselves back in the game as they are struggling to see if they can create a chance to enable them equalize the goal. Rodrigo missed a good chance that would have made it two goals.
Betis 0-1 Madrid.
