🇪🇸 Betis vs Real Madrid 🇪🇸 — Prediction
La Liga · Matchday 4 · Fri, 04 Sept 2026, 21:00 CEST · Estadio Benito Villamarín, Seville
Why we called it
Real Madrid open matchday 4 with a perfect record under José Mourinho (three wins from three, most recently a 4-0 rout of Málaga with Bellingham, Mbappé and Güler on target), and the XI that started at the Bernabéu — Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rüdiger, Cucurella; Valverde, Camavinga; Brahim, Bellingham, Vinícius; Mbappé — should largely be repeated. Betis beat Real Sociedad and Valencia but were taken apart 5-2 at Levante, where Valles' defence in front of Bartra and Natan looked badly exposed; Antony and Riquelme carry the threat with Parrott and Cucho Hernández competing up front. Markets price Madrid around 1.65-1.70 with the draw near 4.5, so this is a clear but not overwhelming favourite away from home at a hostile Villamarín. Hence a one-goal margin with both teams scoring: 1-2.
