Team News

Betis
  • Betis suffered a 3-1 defeat against Levante last time out. Mel’s side gave a rather poor performance on Monday on the road.
  • Striker Jonathan Pereira picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last time out and will serve his one-game suspension in this match.
  • Brazilian defender Paulao picked up an injury against Levante and is doubtful for this match.
  • Mel may have problems putting a defence out against Madrid with Mario out due to injury while neither Amaya nor Ustaritz have played a minute in 2012.
Real Madrid
  • Real Madrid picked up yet another high scoring victory by beating Espanyol 5-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu
  • Madrid are currently on a ten game winning streak in La Liga and 10 points ahead of Barça.
  • Higuaín ended a 50-day scoring drought, netting two against Espanyol in their last La Liga match.
  • Both Di Maria and Benzema are close to making their return for the ‘whites’ but will still miss this match.
  • Defender Carvalho will serve his one-game suspension in this match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last time out.
  • Youngster Morata made his La Liga debut against the Catalans.

Prediction

  • Betis were the surprise outfit of the season when these two teams met early on in the campaign. However, a lot has changed since then and it will be almost a miracle if Betis win this match.
  • Real Madrid are playing great football at the moment and should earn another victory here having lost only one away game this season.
Prediction:
Betis
