Real Betis vs Real Madrid Preview
male Zinedine Zidane arrived in Seville after the success of their latest Clasico. Madrid victory over Barca could be the difference between the top two of La Liga at the end of the campaign, but Los Blancos have to rebuild their impressive form shown against all comers earlier this season.
February turned out to be a bad month for Madrid, as they lost 4-3 to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarter-final and then played a surprise 2-2 La Liga draw at Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
A 1-0 loss followed Levante as the wheels seem to come from Real season and a 2-1 UEFA Champions League defeat to Manchester City in the round-of-16 first leg compounded the suffering of Zidane.
However, as passed in February to March, the Real against Barca complete professional work, once again giving them control at the top.
The remaining fixtures Madrid allows them a relatively pleasant way to the title, but only if they do not slip against the opponent is low.
Betis are a team that is unlikely to provide significant resistance after watching crumble their campaign after Christmas.
The Andalusian club have started the season poorly, but only one defeat during a spell of seven matches in the winter hinted Betis probably finish the campaign flexing their muscles.
However, the results once again hit a brick wall. Betis eight points above the relegation zone, and stay away from them just drop ambition.
Rubi's men last won a match on Jan. 19 after an impressive 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad, but Betis did not have the confidence to match Madrid if visitors turn the screw at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Real Betis vs Real Madrid Prediction
Prediction score: 2-1 Real Madrid
This fixture is often generates a lot of goals in the past and it's worth noting that both teams have scored in 92% of Betis' home fixtures this season in La Liga. Which certainly suggests we will see some action in the goalmouth in this one but Los Blancos are stronger defensively than they have been in the last few years and they seem to be able to come away with a valuable three points against a team Betis easy on the eyes but a little too easy to play against.
