Real Madrid take on the visitors Betis in the round 38 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, May 25th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid are on the verge of adding another successful season to its storied history. They have already secured the La Liga title with a significant lead over their competitors, and they have the Champions League final ahead. It seems likely that all of Carlo Ancelotti's main players will be saving their strength for the crucial clash against Borussia. In the match against Betis, which is essentially a friendly for the Merengues, we will probably see the second team on the field. Even if some first-team regulars do play, they won't be pushing themselves to the limit or risking injury for an unimportant result. Could Real Madrid concede a goal against Betis? Certainly, they could.

Real Betis aim for a positive finish. In their previous La Liga match, Real Betis lost at home to Real Sociedad (0-2) and missed out on a chance to qualify for the Europa League. Now, the Green and Whites are firmly in seventh place and will be competing in the Conference League in the autumn. Essentially, this upcoming match is also a friendly for the visitors. However, matches against Real Madrid are always significant for any La Liga team, demanding heightened motivation by default. While it's uncertain if Betis can take points from the champions, they are certainly capable of scoring at least once against the home side.
I predict that the visitors will try to redeem themselves after their home defeat in the previous round and should manage to score at least once against the favorites. Betis have only failed to score in two of their last twelve matches. Real Madrid, in their previous game, engaged in a goal-fest with Villarreal (4-4). While the Merengues might not concede as many goals from Betis, one or two goals won't be catastrophic for Madrid. Especially considering that the thoughts of the players and their coach are already focused on the Champions League final... My prediction is Betis to Score: YES.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
