Match preview

Real Madrid host Real Betis in the La Liga on 4 January 2026. Real Madrid sit 2nd on 82 points and Real Betis are 5th on 55. Real Madrid have won 3 of their last 5 (DWLWW), while Real Betis have won 2 of 5 (DWLDW). In their last 2 meetings, Real Madrid won 0, Real Betis won 1 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
