Real Madrid vs Real Betis
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
Date: Sunday, May 19, 2019
Kick-off: 11:00am BST
Real Madrid close the book on a hugely disappointing 2018-19 season against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Los Blancos are already guaranteed to finish third behind LaLiga champions Barcelona and runners-up Atletico for the second successive season after a 3-1 defeat at Real Sociedad and look set to embark upon a costly summer overhaul of an underwhelming squad.
Looking to ensure that a dismal campaign for Zinedine Zidane's men ends on a dreary note are a Betis side that will be hoping to achieve a result that sees them keep hold of 10th place and a top-half finish.
Quique Setien's Beticos have endured a fairly mediocre season, but had their confidence boosted ahead of a trip to the capital thanks to veteran club legend Joaquin's sublime 97th-minute winner against relegated Huesca last weekend.
Real Madrid team news and predicted line-up
Captain Sergio Ramos is expected to miss out again for Real Madrid having not trained on Friday as he continues to suffer with a calf injury.
Alvaro Odriozola remains sidelined with a broken collarbone, while striker Mariano Diaz is a doubt.
Casemiro and Jesus Vallejo are both suspended.
Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Nacho, Varane, Marcelo, Valverde, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Brahim, Vinicius Jr
Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Betis
Real Madrid have won only one of their last four LaLiga matches, so you would not bet against Betis - who won 1-0 at the Bernabeu in September 2017 - becoming the latest team to inflict misery on the 13-time European champions.
However, certain home players should be doing all they can to prove that they do have viable long-term futures at the club, so we anticipate a potential narrow home victory.

Head to head (h2h) history and results
Real Madrid, as you might expect, have largely dominated this fixture over the years, winning 2-1 at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in mid-January as Dani Ceballos came back to haunt his former club with a late free-kick after Luka Modric's early opener was cancelled out by ex-Madrid man Sergio Canales.
