Real Madrid and Betis Sevilla meet in the final stage of the La Liga season. The match will be played on Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday from 11:00.
The Real had a win in the match this season, when it was 2-1 Estadio Benito Villamarin, which was the 4th success achieved by Madrileni in the last 5 direct confrontations with Betis. The 18 teams met in Madrid (Spain’s La Liga and the Spanish Cup), the hosts winning in 12 rows, while the guests were forced only in the first direct encounter, but also in the most recent, each time with a score of 1-0.
Until the arrival of Zinedine Zidane, Real had a series of four consecutive defeats on his own. After the French technician took over the team, it won victory after Santiago Bernabeu. Problems occurred when “galactics” evolved away from home, lacking a real stake being the main cause.
If the hosts secured their third position in La Liga, Betis missed the chance to score in the first 7 teams, being 6 points away from the last team in this hierarchy, Athletic Bilbao. In the previous round, the Sevilla band was motivated to split with a success of their own supporters and was forced to score 2-1 in front of Huesca. This season’s off-season moves were not as productive as the last four games played on foreign ground bringing zero points to the formation set up by Quique Setien.
Alvaro Odriozola (injured), Jesus Vallejo and Casemiro (suspended) are absent hosts for this duel, Sergio Ramos’s field presence being an uncertain one. On the other hand, the Betis technician will not be able to rely on three players, Sergio Canales, Antonio Barragan (injured) and Joaquin (suspended).
Probable teams
Real Madrid: Navas – Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo – Modric, Kroos, Valverde – Asensio, Benzema, Diaz;
Betis Sevilla: Robles – Francis, Feddal, Bartra, Firpo – Guardado, Kaptoum – Jese, Celso, Tello – Moron;
Real is looking to break out with his own supporters with a success, and the shape shown by Betis in the last trips seems to be on the “Galactic” side. Being the last match of the season for both teams, a no-bet match, we expect not to see a large number of cards given by the central Alberto Undiano Mallenco.
