Analysis and prediction for the match of the 4th round of the Spanish championship “Real” – “Betis” (01/09/2024)
The match that will close the programme of the 4th round of the Spanish Championship will take place on 1st September. Real Madrid will host Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Kick-off will sound at 22:30 Moscow time. Los Blancos have only won two of their last seven head-to-head meetings, although four of them took place in Madrid.
It’s clear that Betis isn’t the most suitable opponent for Los Blancos, but that’s only half the story. Madrid started the season badly. They won the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta (2-0), but then in the league they drew with Mallorca (1-1) and Las Palmas (1-1), and also won with some difficulty against Valladolid, although I can’t say that because of the score: 3-0.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team could easily have lost to Mallorca and Las Palmas. The opponents created many dangerous chances, but their execution let them down. The Madrid team has another problem. They create little and at the same time waste good scoring opportunities.
The first is related to the team’s painful reaction to the departure of Toni Kroos, who announced his retirement. The midfielder provided most of the creativity and was responsible for carrying the ball with precise passes to all corners of the field. Arda Güler and other Real Madrid midfielders do not have the qualities for which the German midfielder was famous.
The second problem is also complex, but it affects Kylian Mbappé above all. The captain of the French national team did everything possible to join the Galacticos. So far, these sacrifices have not been justified. Ancelotti frees the striker in an unusual position: at the front of the attack, as the flanks are occupied by Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo.
In three matches of the Spanish Championship, Mbappé did not score a single goal, although he had regular opportunities. Other Los Blancos players have not yet developed a mutual understanding with Kylian, so finishing and, consequently, performance are affected. It would be easier if the Galácticos were not bothered by significant personnel losses.
Several top Real Madrid players are in hospital: Jude Bellingham, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga. It is difficult to say which of them the team misses the most. Betis have a great opportunity to pick up points. They will definitely use it.
The green and whites consistently finish the season at the top of the table. They do not have enough reserves to compete for medals, but the club always shows character in matches with strong rivals and performs successfully on the international stage. What distinguishes it from others is its integrity and desperate intransigence.
Last season was a tough test for Betis. They learned to play without their long-time leader and true club legend, Joaquín. Manuel Pellegrini could not avoid having some difficulties, but at the end of the season his players gained momentum. They only lost one of the last eight games of the last edition of the Exemplars.
Betis has a stronger core of leaders. They started the new season with a 1-1 draw against Girona and 0-0 against Alavés, although they were closer to victory in both cases. The Betis also confidently beat Krivbass twice (2-0 and 3-0) in the Conference League standings. They face the next match with a good reserve of strength and are fully charged.
Pellegrini is excellent at preparing his players for matches against Real Madrid. You can bet that the Verdiblancos will not lose to the Galácticos at the bookmakers with odds of 3.70. Until Ancelotti finds the right use for Mbappé, we should not expect Madrid to win in matches against such strong opponents.
After the draw against Las Palmas, the Italian coach took all the blame and promised to work on his mistakes. However, if the “Cremosos” had big problems against the away team and almost lost, it is even more unlikely that they will be able to beat the Verdiblancos.
“Cremoso” really needs a victory, because the gap with the leader “Barcelona” continues to grow inexorably. It is clear that it is too early to talk about the race for the championship, but Madrid urgently needs to make up for lost time. Another thing is that this is very problematic.
Prediction and betting tips for the Real Madrid – Betis match 1 September 2024
If Madrid were to perform badly in one way or another, Ancelotti would probably have found a way out of the situation. However, the Italian is facing a number of problems: Mbappé’s adaptation, Kroos’ lack of qualities and a host of injuries. Betis are a very difficult opponent for Real Madrid. The Verdiblancos have excellent chances of getting the points.
Tender: Betis does not lose by 3.70.
