Real Madrid for sure will be confident of continuing their good form against the lowly Betis Sevilla who is currently at the bottom of the La Liga table.
Betis has been horrible this season, gaining just 11 points in 19 matches. Their short term form is also horrible with only 1 point in the last 4 rounds. Betis had hopes from the Spanish Cup after beating Bilbao 1-0 in the first leg but they lost 2-0 away a couple of days ago and now that competition is also over for them. Betis has the worst offense in the league and is totally unable to create chances (16 goals in 19 matches and they were actually efficient to score that much). Their defense is second worst in the league so Betis really needs to step up if they want to have any chance of escaping relegation.
Real Madrid just got a huge break last round when Barcelona and Atletico settled for a 0-0 draw. Real beat Espanyol in a tough road game 1-0 so now they are only 3 points away from the first place. The form for “Los Blancos” is fantastic with 6 consecutive wins: and in 5 of those games they did not allow a goal. Ronaldo just got Ballon D`or, the atmosphere is better than ever at the moment and this was also seen in the 2-0 victory in the Cup at Osasuna 3 days ago – a match that Real did not need to win, but fought to the end.

Betis is just rubbish at the moment and they also have some squad problems. Real is in the best form they have ever been this season, morale is high and they are at full strength in the offense department. So far I stayed away of betting on Real to cover the handicap on the road but this time it is hard to see anything but a clear away win. Real is on a high and they meet the worst team in La Liga without a doubt; and Betis is also in poor form. My pick is Betis – Real Madrid 0-3. Real has every chance to cover the handicap in this game. They just beat a much better team than Betis (Osasuna) 2-0 on the road without forcing and also resting some guys. Expect Real to win big in this match.
