Matchday 26 of the Spanish La Liga will see 7th place Real Betis host 2nd place Real Madrid at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.

Over the past weeks, Manuel Pellegrini's Betis have been on a quite impressive run of form which has seen them win their last 2 La Liga games, a 1-2 away win at the Coliseum Stadium against Getafe and an emphatic 3-0 win at home over Real Sociedad. They also managed to secure a round of 16 ticket in the UEFA Europa Conference League following a confident away victory over Gent in the first-leg of the knockout tie.

Real Madrid on the other hand have been immensely immaculate in their delivery, translating to their outstanding success domestically and largely in Europe. Having drawn in two straight La Liga games, the Los Blancos were finally back to winning ways following their solid 2-0 win over last season's La Liga wonders, Girona. Recently they secured a crucial away victory over Real Sociedad in the 1st leg of the Copa Del Rey Semi-finals

Carlo Ancelotti's men will enjoy the dismissal of Betis' man in form, Anthony the Manchester United's loanee who has really been influential for the Los Verdiblancos, recording 5 goal contributions since joining just in January 2025. Form wise, Madrid have been more stable and by any means better than Betis but this is still a big game for them considering their title aspirations. To this end, we recommend the DC Real Madrid/Draw as our main Real Betis vs Real Madrid prediction.
