The gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is very close. Both teams are expecting that the other will lose so that they can stay in the top. As for Real Madrid i dont think they will lose against Real Betis because this is one of the most important games they have to play to remain on the title race. Knowing full well that they have a very tough contender which is Barcelona i believe Ancelloti have no option than to win the game. In case we are betting playing Real Madrid to win either half is probably the best and safer choice of odd in this game.
This time around the competition will be very tough since I can see that most of the teams are now sharing the same points, so in this case, not any one team will like to make another team take over their position. That’s why each and every team wants to be very serious, and this kind of points gap will turn the competition into a tough one. Because not everyone wants to be left behind, Real Madrid takes their performance very seriously in this La Liga this season. That’s why even when their performances look very down in the Champions League, they don’t bother; they just want their aim to be achieved in La Liga this season.
