Real Betis vs Real Madrid Preview


Real Betis vs Real Madrid

Competition – Spanish Primera Liga

Stadium: Benito Villamarín

Date: 1st March 2025

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

Real Madrid will look to retake the top spot in La Liga when they face Real Batis away from home this Saturday.

Betis will welcome the reigning La Liga champions to the Estadio Benito Villamarín looking to continue what has been a positive recent run of form. After winning their last two La Liga games, the hosts are back in contention for European qualification. This week, they also received a huge boost when Antony’s injury-time red card against Getafe was overturned.

The Manchester United loanee has been influential in their recent matches, contributing five goals since arriving (G3, A2). With him in the starting XI, Real Betis’ last four league games have produced an average of 3.75 goals per game (W2, D1, L1).

Los Verdiblancos will hope he can inspire them to another positive home result. The hosts have only lost one of their last eight home league games (W3, D4), which should give them some confidence as they prepare to host reigning champions Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games courtesy of a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey. With this game coming just three days after that encounter, Madrid have reason to be unhappy about fixture scheduling.

Though they’re level on points pre-round, Real Madrid are behind leaders and fierce rivals Barcelona. As such, they will be desperate to avoid a slip-up as they aim to keep the pressure on. This is a tricky fixture for them, as Real have won just four of the last 11 league H2Hs (D6, L1), with five of those draws ending 0-0.

Another blank here would see Los Blancos go three consecutive away league games without a win for the first time in the same season since May 2023 (D1, L1). Still, the Estadio Benito Villamarín remains a decent hunting ground, with Madrid losing just one of the last ten away H2Hs in the league (W6, D3).
