Real Betis vs Real Madrid score prediction
Those filtering into the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday afternoon in search of goals may leave disappointed. Three of the previous five meetings between Betis and Madrid have ended in scoreless draws.
If either side does find the back of the net, Madrid are the most likely scorers. Only surprise package Girona have been more prolific in La Liga than Ancelotti's side, who also boast the best defensive record in the division.
