Real Betis vs Real Madrid Preview & Prediction

THE PREDICTION

Manuel Pellegrini leads his current team up against his former team with the Andalusians still searching for their first win of the season. Real Betis earned a point in Mallorca late on the opening day before drawing 1-1 at home to Cadiz at the weekend. Pellegrini will be disappointed with that start given that they have UEFA Europa League commitments throughout the campaign. They come up against a Real Madrid side that drew 3-3 away to Levante at the weekend in a thrilling game that really did show up some weaknesses in a Madrid defence that no longer boasts Sergio Ramos or Raphael Varane. Both teams scoring, due to that defensive weakness, is once again likely.
