Prediction published on 31/08/2022, 15:36  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Real Madrid have taken an early lead in La Liga and will be targeting a fourth straight win in the league when they host the only other side on a perfect start, Real Betis. Both teams are on nine points from the opening three matches and an inferior goal difference keeps Betis second. This will be Real Madrid’s fifth competitive game this season, after their opening game against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Super Cup. They have four straight wins, scoring two or more goals in each but they are yet to keep a clean sheet in the three league matches coming after the Super Cup win. Real Madrid’s opening three league matches have each produced over 2.5 goals. This will be Real Madrid’s first home league match of the season, all the opening three were played away from home, the most recent ending in a 3-1 win over Espanyol.

Real Betis are also coming from a win, though theirs wasn’t as emphatic as Real Madrid’s. They beat Osasuna 1-0 at home for their second clean sheet of the season. Two of these three matches have produced over 2.5 goals and Real Betis have scored two goals or more in two. Borja Iglesias has been the main man for Betis with four goals in three matches, including the winners against Osasuna. They will however be without Argentine defender Alejo Pezzella, who was sent off in the last game. At home, Real Betis have won all their last three league matches, scoring two or more goals in the process. In the last four meetings, Real are unbeaten against Real Betis and they have three straight clean sheets in their recent meetings.
