Madrid's perfect three-match league start and sustained scoring form make the away win the clearest 1X2 lean.

Prediction

Real Madrid have started the La Liga season like they mean business: three wins, 10 goals and just two conceded. Real Betis are not rolling over, though, with two wins from three before this tricky home test at Benito Villamarín. My prediction is a Real Madrid win, most plausibly 1-2, with Betis capable of contributing. Here's where the numbers point below.

Here's the thing: Madrid's early-season return is hard to argue with. They sit first after three matches, have maximum points, and their 10-2 goal difference is the strongest evidence in this fixture. The supplied recent results add weight rather than noise: 4-0 against Málaga, 4-1 against Real Sociedad and a 2-1 away win at Espanyol. I think that combination makes them the right side to back in the match-result market, even with the trip to Sevilla.

Betis deserve more respect than the outright prices suggest, mind. They are sixth with six points from three games and had won at Valencia and at home to Real Sociedad before the 5-2 loss at Levante. That last result is the main concern: conceding five is a sharp contrast to Madrid's controlled start, and Betis have allowed five goals in their opening three league fixtures. Still, they scored twice in that defeat and have scored in four of their five supplied matches.

That is why I prefer a competitive Madrid win over a shutout narrative. Madrid have conceded in three of their last five supplied games, while their attacking output has remained high throughout. A 1-2 away result fits the current evidence best: Madrid's superior winning and scoring record gets them over the line, but Betis have shown enough at both ends to keep the contest alive. The away win is my main angle, with both teams scoring the natural supporting play.

Real Madrid are the likelier winners, though Real Betis have enough recent attacking output to make this less than a routine away day.

Key reasons

Real Madrid have won all three league matches, scoring 10 times and conceding only twice.
Betis have taken six points from three games but conceded five, including five in their latest defeat at Levante.
Madrid's last five supplied results are all wins, with 15 goals scored across that run.

Risk factors

Betis have won two of their first three league fixtures and beat Real Sociedad in their most recent home match.
Betis have scored in four of their last five supplied matches, so Madrid's defensive control faces a credible test.
