What to expect
We expect about 1.3 goals from Betis and 1.6 from Real Madrid, so Real Madrid come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Betis come into this on three straight wins. Real Madrid come into this on five straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.6), and we make both teams to score about 59%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.
We put the chance of that landing at about 59 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.66, which works out at about 60 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
A clean sheet at either end undoes it, and one side shutting up shop is always on the cards. We make it about 59% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
