Real Betis will look to cement their place in the top five when they host Real Madrid in a Spanish La Liga clash at the Estadio de La Cartuja on Friday.

Both sides returned to winning ways in their most recent outings. Victory for either team will move them closer to achieving their end-of-season objective.

Real Betis News

Rodrigo Riquelme scored the winning goal as Real Betis edged Girona 3-2 in their last match, ending a five-game winless run.

Los Verdiblancos maintained their fifth position and are edging closer to securing a European spot. The result at Girona was their second win in 12 matches across all competitions, and Betis will need to be at their best against a Madrid side chasing the title.

Their attack has been consistent this term, with Manuel Pellegrini’s men scoring in seven of their last 10 games, with just two clean sheets kept in that run. Betis have also struggled at home, having won one of their last seven matches at the Estadio de La Cartuja, with over 2.5 goals recorded in six of their last 10 at home.

Real Madrid News

Real Madrid ended a four-game winless run with a 2-1 victory over Alaves on Tuesday. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring, with Vinicius Junior adding the second as Madrid scored at least twice in back-to-back matches.

Los Blancos sit second in La Liga and have closed the gap at the top to six points. They have claimed six wins in their last 10 matches, winning four of their last six La Liga games. Madrid have been solid in attack, finding the net in each of their last 10 outings, but one clean sheet in that run is worrying.

Alvaro Arbeloa’s side head into the clash on a two-game winless run away from home. However, they could draw inspiration from winning five of their previous seven road games. Madrid's matches have also been fully entertaining as over 2.5 goals have been produced in nine of their last 10 fixtures, with another open contest expected here.

Head to Head

Real Madrid have the upper hand in this fixture, with four wins and one defeat in their last 10 meetings with Real Betis. Los Blancos claimed a dominant 5-1 victory in the reverse fixture in January.

Verdict

Real Betis v Real Madrid

The last two meetings between these sides have produced over 2.5 goals, and the streak can continue in this one.

Madrid have scored at least twice in their last two games and are tipped to keep the trend alive. They have the edge in this fixture, and with four wins in their last six league games, another victory is on the cards here for the visitors.
