Real Betis vs Real Madrid
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín
Date: Sunday, January 13, 2019
Kick-off: 7:45pm GMT
Real Madrid need a victory at Real Betis on Sunday to try and keep pace with LaLiga's runaway leaders Barcelona.
Real could be as many as 13 points behind Barca by the time Los Blancos kick off in Seville, with a 2-2 draw at Villarreal and a 2-0 home defeat by Real Sociedad leaving the Champions League holders well off the pace.
A 3-0 Copa del Rey win over Leganes boosted confidence at the Bernabeu in midweek, but Real's notoriously fickle fanbase will need another win if the pressure on Santiago Solari is to ease up.
Score prediction: Real Betis 1-1 Real Madrid
Betis are just four points behind fifth-placed Madrid heading into Monday night's clash, so this is no easy fixture for Los Blancos.
Betis have a decent defensive record this term with 21 goals conceded (and 21 scored), and a goal either way should decide it.
