This visit comes three days after the defeat in the first leg of the Copa del Rey against Barcelona's biggest rivals at home. Before that defeat, Real played to a 1-1 draw in La Liga with city rivals Atletico, so a win is imperative for Carlo Ancelotti's men to keep any chance of catching the Catalans in the title race. By the way, Real did not tie three games without a win this season, which could happen to them now. Betis ended their cup adventure in the round of 16, losing on penalties to Osasuna, so they rested in the middle of the week, and last weekend they played a thriller match against Elche in which they made up for 2-0 and reached a 2-3 victory, with a goal from the penalty spot. It was the 3rd consecutive victory for the Andalucians, with which they consolidated their 5th position leading into the Europa League and reached four points behind 4th Sociedad, who held the last place leading into the Champions League. The downside of visiting Elche is a serious injury to Fekir, due to which the French international will probably miss the rest of the season. Betis would also have difficulties with him against a team that has won only once in the last 8 matches at its "Benito Villamarin" stadium. In the first part of the season, it was 2-1 for Real at the Bernabeu, with goals from Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, while the scorer for Betis was Canales. Real suffered all four defeats this season, three in La Liga and one in the King's Cup, with a goal difference. The biggest goal threat for Madrid on Sunday will be Borja Iglesias, La Liga's fourth top scorer has already reached his tally of 10 goals last year. But without two creative brains Canales and Fekir, I think home team will have a lot of trouble in creating actions. Real's central midfield with Kross, Valverde, and Tchoumeni should prevail so I expect a win for the guest after 90 minutes. This won't be an easy game but at I believe Real Madrid has enough firepower to win 3 points tonight as Betis's defense is not performing well in recent games.
