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 53rd 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.
and the game ended in a draw, it was a game in which real madrid were seen as favorites because they are at the top and have a history of good results in recent games, so it was normal for real madrid to be seen as favorites to win the game, but on the other hand, their opponent, Betis, came to this game with a history of many draws, for example in the last 4 games Betis had 2 draws and 2 wins, that is, they did not lose in the last 4 games, adding the fact that real madrid doesn't have many attackers, they rely on Jude Bellingham and the other players who are attackers have become inefficient and non-existent in crucial moments
Real Madrid has so far managed to do well thanks to a good coach and a cast of players who know each other very well and can play very well together, but in attack Real Madrid's situation is not good and I read it somewhere which said that the real madrid coach said that they are not going to sign anyone in this transfer window that will open soon, so I don't understand if their objective is to wait for mbappe's contract to end or they are intending to stay with the current squad until the end of the next season. In any case, they have a big points advantage in the table and I highly doubt that will change.
tomorrow we have the most important game of this round, I'm talking about Barcelona's game against Girona, this game if Barcelona wins, then they would be able to reduce the points difference with Real Madrid, it would only be 2 points, but if Barcelona draw or lose , so they will be wasting a good opportunity if they want to fight for the title. the opponent is not weak, but they did poorly against real madrid, I think barcelona can also win this game
