Real Madrid vs Real Betis preview

Los Blancos are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and will surely be made to work hard by a confident and attacking Betis side.

Pellegini's men have also been solid conceding just once this term and they should provide Madrid with their sternest test yet.

Indeed, Betis boast a stunning record away to Real Madrid and are unbeaten in their last five visits to Los Blancos keeping a clean sheet in each of those five games.

With the side from Seville in excellent form there should be plenty of interest in backing them to prove competitive opponents for the Spanish and European champions.
