Real Betis are unbeaten in last 9 home games

So far in LaLiga, Real Madrid have been relentless and sit at the top, but with FC Barcelona closing the gap and Girona tied with Madrid, Madrid must treat all games as must-win matches. In spite of the loss of Benzema, Ancelotti has run his magic once again. He has been superb, and how he has taken Jude Bellingham is an example of how to get the best out of any player.

Although Real Betis have played excellent football this season, their position in the table will disappoint them greatly. Despite only losing two games, they are currently seventh in the league. The fact that Real Betis have played seven draws in 12 matches indicates that they are unable to finish the games. If they fail to close off the games, they will again miss out on Champions League football.

Player to Watch

Federico Valverde (Real Madrid)

Valverde has been the man for Real Madrid who has handled the defensive side while Jude Bellingham has been the talk of the town. Valverde was expected to play the attacking role with the departure of Benzema, but Ancelotti has used him to dictate terms from the midfield. Real Madrid are doing well because of his partnership with Bellingham and other attackers.

Isco (Real Betis)

This season has been Isco’s redemption season and he has again proven why he was always rated world-class. Isco has been man of the match in more than half matches for Real Betis and has scored two goals and provided two assists. Against his former club, he will be looking to put in another big performance. He has been a great asset to Real Betis’ midfielder.
