Real Betis vs Real Madrid CF

Real Betis host Real Madrid at La Cartuja with early season pride at stake. Madrid are chasing a fourth straight win to keep their perfect start alive, while Betis want to answer last weekend's alarming defeat with a big result at home. Madrid have won all three league games so far, scoring ten goals along the way, with Kylian Mbappé in red-hot form and Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior chipping in too. Betis, meanwhile, are nursing wounds after a shock 5-2 loss to Levante that exposed defensive cracks, though Isco and Antony still give the hosts a creative spark. Injuries hurt both sides: Betis are missing Diego Conde, Aitor Ruibal and Giovani Lo Celso, while Madrid go without Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy and Raúl Asencio. Betis can make this awkward at home, but Madrid's attacking quality should ultimately be too much to handle. Our prediction: 1-2
