Real Madrid vs Betis Prediction & Betting Tips (1 September)

A draw in Mallorca 1-1, another disappointing points split during the week in Las Palmas 1-1, and a small victory at home against promoted Valladolid 3-0, it is clear that Real Madrid's record is far behind to be satisfactory and Ancelotti's men were already 4 lengths behind FC Barcelona at the start of this day. They could even count 7 in the event of a Catalan victory the day before against Valladolid. The most worrying thing for the Merengue is that they faced opponents from the 2nd half of the table and not the big names and that they seem incapable of creating much better in the game. The Vinicius - Mbappé connection absolutely does not exist For now. We are a long way from the spicy Real Madrid of last season.

Real Bétis did not play its championship match against Getafe this week following its participation in the second leg of the Conference League on Thursday evening, which it also won against Kryvbas won 0-2 in the first leg, 3-0 won in the return. The Verdiblancos will therefore play the Conference League this season. After two days, Manuel Pellegrini's men conceded two points against Alaves last week 0-0 and Girona at home for the first day 1-1.

“You are missing a being and everything is depopulated.” The man of this Real Madrid and the most important because of his activity is Jude Bellingham and his absence is clearly felt by the reigning champion. Injured, the England international will not return until the end of the month at best, as will another essential element in the midfield, Eduardo Camavinga. David Alaba is still recovering while young talent Joan Martinez suffered a torn cruciate ligament and will miss the next few months of competition. Returning from loan from Granada where he played very little due to an injury, Vallejo is still on the sidelines. Kylian Mbappé is not taking off in La Liga where he has still not scored in 3 games, a first for him in his career. The former Parisian suffers from his almost non-existent relationship with the Brazilian Vinicius which is far from his level of last year which projected him straight towards the Ballon d'Or next October. The rookie Endrick opened his account against Valladolid but it's not madness either. Remember that last year's supersub, Joselu, left the club, Kroos retired and soldier Nacho also fled. Recently, it was the young Nico Paz who decided to leave his favorite club behind to join Calcio Como while Latasa signed for Valladolid. Alvaro Rodriguez went on loan to Getafe during the week.

Former Arsenal player Bakambu remains injured just like the crack Isco (8 goals, 5 assists last season in La Liga), Felix Garreta (returned on loan from Amorebieta ) and Nobel Mendy (recruit from Paris FC). Back on the bench, replacement goalkeeper Vieites is available. Arriving in the summer of 2023, Ez Abde had some difficulties adapting to Bétis but the latter was indeed one of the driving forces behind qualification in the Conference following his double during the week. Scorer Aitor Ruibal also scored in this 3-0 victory. To discuss the Sevillian club's transfer window, let's talk about the departures of scorers Willian José and Borja Iglesias sent on loan to Celta Vigo. Winger Ayoze Perez went to Villarreal while in the defensive sector, Pezzella returned to Argentina and Guido Rodiguez responded favorably to West Ham's approaches. A priori, world champion Nabil Fékir should enter Qatar. Veteran goalkeeper Bravo (Chilean international for many years) has bowed out while former Barça man Miranda has signed for Bologna and will play for the Champions. Also departure of Abner (Lyon) and Chadi Riad (recruited then sent to Palace for a capital gain of 6 million). In the other direction, Diego Llorente (Leeds), Ricardo Rodriguez (Torino), Perraud (Southampton, ex Nice), the replacement goalkeeper Adrian (Liverpool), Sanca Marciano (Almeria, loan), Natan (Naples, loan) and the promising Vitor Roque (FC Barcelona, ​​loan) all arrived during the summer.
