Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After recording a routine 3-0 win over Cadiz, Real Madrid will be aiming to put an extra pressure on league leaders Atletico Madrid when they face Real Betis in Valdebebas. Los Blancos have been producing fine displays in the season finale, but they need to keep on impressing if they are to defend their La Liga trophy. Midfielders Tony Kroos and Luka Modric are sidelined with injuries, but key defender Sergio Ramos should be fit to face los Beticos.
A man to watch in the home team will be Karim Benzema, who impressed in the midweek victory. Ten-man Real Betis failed to create a descent opportunity to score in the goalless draw with Athletic Club, and seeing that Nabil Fekir is out of contention through suspension, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing hosts. Both Camarasa and Martin are likely to miss the game with injuries.
