Prediction: 1-1
Real Madrid
Estadio Benito Villamarin will be the centre of attention when Real Betis and Real Madrid go head to head in the La Liga round 16. Los Beticos defended well in the Andalusian derby against Almeria, but they will have a big fish to fry against los Blancos. Former Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin misses out through suspension, while all Nabil Fekir, William Carvalho, Claudio Bravo, Marc Bartra, and Youssouf Sabaly remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions. Real Madrid faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Granada, but they need to keep on winning if they are to regain the trophy. Anyhow, a low-scoring affair is on the cards as under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in Primera Division. The likes of Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eder Militao remain in the recovery room, while veteran Luka Modric is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
