Real Betis vs Real Madrid: ten scored, five conceded, a meeting of extremes 
3 matches, 3 wins, 10 goals hit home and only 2 shipped: Mourinho’s second spell at Real Madrid is already tearing through La Liga. Joint leaders alongside Barca on 9 points, the Merengues head into round four with a wall of confidence.
Madrid have taken nine from nine and share top spot with FC Barcelona. Three straight wins to kick off Jose Mourinho’s second stint in charge.
Betis, meanwhile, have just been hit hard. After two 1-0 wins over Real Sociedad and at Valencia, the Andalusians came apart in a 5-2 defeat at Levante.
The calendar has not been kind to the Andalusian side. Betis return to Champions League action next Tuesday against Lille, their first European campaign at that level for 21 years.
Real Madrid’s record in Seville is still shaky, though. They have not won away at Betis since a 1-0 success in August 2021.
The last four league visits to Andalusia have all ended without defeat for Betis, including a 1-1 in April, rescued by Hector Bellerin in stoppage time. That is the main reason Manuel Pellegrini’s side still have a case to make.
A win on Friday night would put Real Madrid three points clear at the top, with Barca not playing until Sunday. The stakes are immediate for the visitors.
Betis have stumbled at the worst possible time 
Two clean sheets and two 1-0 wins to start, then five conceded at the Ciutat de Valencia: the defensive drop-off was obvious. Marc Bartra and Rodrigo Riquelme had dragged Los Verdiblancos level twice, but it still wasn’t enough.
Roger Brugue’s brace and Jon Ander Olasagasti’s late strike sealed Betis’ first defeat of the season. Pellegrini knows a repeat defensive display would be fatal against this Madrid attack.
Up front, the numbers are far better. Betis have scored in 11 straight league matches, with their last blank coming in a 0-0 draw against Espanyol in April.
Three players are missing: Diego Conde, Aitor Ruibal and Giovani Lo Celso, all injured. Dani Ceballos, back on a free from Real Madrid, may also lack the sharpness needed against his old club.
Pellegrini is set to make changes from the side fielded at Levante. Diego Llorente, Pablo Fornals and Cucho Hernandez are all pushing for starts.
Last season’s fifth-place finish is proof this squad has quality. The question is how much gas they’ll have left four days before their Champions League opener.

Mourinho’s Real Madrid are rolling 
Nine points, 10 goals, three games: there is no arguing with Madrid’s start. The 2-1 win at Espanyol was the only fixture that really made them work.
The next two home games turned into statements. A 4-1 win over Real Sociedad, then a 4-0 rout of Malaga last Sunday.
Jude Bellingham opened the scoring against the Andalusians before forcing an own goal from Alfonso Herrero. Kylian Mbappe then scored his 60th La Liga goal, and Arda Guler wrapped up the night.
Madrid’s treatment room is still busy, though. Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Thiago Pitarch and Rodrygo are out, while Eder Militao is not expected back before the international break.
Aurelien Tchouameni and Endrick are the closest to returning, but Friday’s game may come too soon. Mourinho should bring back Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Bernardo Silva and Arda Guler after resting them against Malaga.
The Portuguese coach’s record against Betis is mixed: four wins, one draw and three defeats from eight meetings. He did win three of four during his first spell in Madrid, mind.
Probable Real Betis line-up: Valles ; Bellerin, Llorente, Natan, Garcia ; Roca, Fornals ; Antony, Isco, Riquelme ; Cucho Hernandez
Probable Real Madrid line-up: Courtois ; Dumfries, Konate, Huijsen, Cucurella ; Valverde, Bernardo Silva ; Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius ; Mbappe
Football Prediction Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Our prediction: Real Madrid to win
10 goals in three rounds against a defence that just shipped five at Levante, and the gap in form is too wide for home advantage alone to close. Mbappe, Bellingham and Guler all scored in their last outing.
The schedule is also working against the Andalusians, who have Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday, which will force Pellegrini to protect a few key men. Betis are also without Lo Celso and Ruibal, two useful rotation options for a match like this.
Their four-game unbeaten home run against the Merengues is not enough to flip the script. We are backing Real Madrid to win at La Cartuja.

First, a word on our free predictions
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the current moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is still sport: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need for everyday life. And above all: do not chase losses, because that usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If you feel it is taking up too much space in your daily life, if it is irritating you or putting you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That is what they are there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is banned for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can go off the rails fast (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain English: you cannot rely on them to claim anything if a bet does not come off.
Information can change
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet can change (like Real Betis’, for example), a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, just make sure betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling comes first
We cannot say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you are struggling to stay in control, do not wait to seek help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
