Team Analysis
Real Madrid, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, has had a challenging start to the season with only one win in their first three matches. The team is struggling with an imbalance in the attack, and Kylian Mbappe has yet to make a significant impact. Recent draws against Mallorca and Las Palmas have highlighted these issues. Injuries to key players like Jude Bellingham, David Alaba, and Eduardo Camavinga have further complicated matters. Federico Valverde has been a standout performer, helping to connect the midfield and attack.

Real Betis, led by Manuel Pellegrini, has focused on their European commitments, securing a 3-0 win over Kryvbas in the Conference League. In La Liga, Betis has yet to secure a victory, drawing their opening matches against Girona and Alaves. The team will be without Isco due to injury. Betis must bring a well-organized defense to counter Real Madrid’s attacking threats.

Head-to-Head
Real Madrid has not lost to Betis in their last eight encounters, but they have only managed three wins during that period. Last season, both matches ended in draws, showing Betis's capability to challenge Madrid.

Prediction
The match is expected to be closely contested with limited goal-scoring opportunities. Real Madrid may prioritize securing three points over playing an expansive game. A prediction of under 2.5 goals aligns with the trend of low-scoring matches between these teams. Additionally, expect a high number of corners, with a total of over 9.5 corners being a reasonable forecast. Real Madrid is anticipated to edge Betis, with a predicted scoreline of 1-0. A bet on Real Betis with a handicap of +2 is suggested, given their strong defensive organization.

Pick: Real Betis +2
