Real Madrid take on the visitors Betis in the round 38 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, May 20th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
It's too early to put an end to the season, moreover, instead of it there will probably be an exclamation point - a team from the capital of Spain suffered a heart attack, but made it to the Champions League final. And there, on May 28, he will fight with a well-known opponent, Liverpool. Moreover, while the Reds are tearing their veins, playing to win the FA Cup final and in the last rounds of the Premier League, the Spaniards are spending the last weeks in a relaxed mode. The coach actively uses the rotation, trying to save the backbone for the Champions League final, especially since the leaders are all aged. He went out twice at the base of Lunin, even such cantenaros as Gila and Peter appeared on the field. But, perhaps, a week before the decisive duel for "Eared", the coach will try to check the "combat readiness" of his main performers.

Betis have been playing under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini since 2020. "Engineer" immediately lifted his new wards to the European Cup - something that did not work out for many of his predecessors. And now, perhaps, it was the Spaniards, and not Eintracht, who would have played in the Europa League final, if the fatal own goal had not intervened in the last minute of the extra-time of the 1/8 finals. On the other hand, there was also luck: the Cucumbers won the Copa del Rey, a long-awaited trophy, defeating Valencia in the final only in a penalty shootout. Perhaps the race in these tournaments prevented me from seriously competing in the LaLiga, where in the spring there was clearly not enough strength. Because of this, it was not possible to catch up with Sevilla and Atlético.
Lately, Betis have been worthy, fighting on equal terms with Real Madrid: the teams have 2 wins in 6 last head-to-head matches. On the other hand, in the last 3 confrontations, the "Merengues" gained 7 points. Including won at Benito Villamarin in August last year due to the only goal of Carvajal. Real Madrid will not be able to use Marcelo, Bale, Jovic, Isco and Alaba. Betis are left without Bravo, Ruiz, Camarasa and Montoya. The hosts' thoughts will be in the Champions League final, and the visitors will be on vacation, and it is unlikely that anyone will be zealous, risking injury in an unnecessary match for the parties. We are waiting for "total under 3.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Under 3,5 goals scored.
