Real Madrid will hope to stay closer to leaders Barcelona in La Liga as action resumes in matchday 18 against Betis. This match on Sunday in Madrid between the second-placed Los Blancos and the sixth-placed Los Verdiblancos comes with our prediction of the away team avoiding defeat.
With 42 points from 18 matches (W13, D3, L2), Madrid started this round four points behind leaders Barcelona. Betis have 28 points from 17 matches (W7, D7, L3) and are five points behind fifth-placed Espanyol ahead of this matchday.
Madrid won 2-0 at home against Sevilla to go into the break with consecutive wins. That helped assure the hurt of defeats to Celta Vigo in La Liga and Manchester City in the Champions League prior to those wins.
Both those defeats have come at home, indicating that Madrid aren't unbeatable. Even in recent years, Madrid have struggled to dominate Betis at home, making this a tricky fixture.
Betis won 4-0 at home against Getafe to go to the winter break on a high with four wins from their last six competitive games (D1, L1). Their results in La Liga have been indifferent, though, with only three wins across their last nine La Liga games (D4, L2).
They are a stubborn opponent on the road, though, remaining unbeaten in eight league trips this season (W2, D6).

Our Real Madrid vs Betis Prediction
Real Betis have recently been a tough opponent for Real Madrid, avoiding defeat in six of their last eight league trips to this venue (W2, D4, L2). Since the start of November, in all competitions, Betis have been beaten only once, and that too by Barcelona in a high-scoring game. They remain undefeated in every away game this season, which makes Madrid's task difficult.
Los Blancos won just four of their last ten matches in all competitions and could struggle here against an in-form Betis. Our Real Madrid vs Betis prediction is draw or Betis.
