| The game between Real Betis and Real Madrid at the Benito Villamarin is one of the most exciting matches of the end of the LaLiga season. While Madrid are struggling to maintain their momentum at the top of the table, Betis are looking for points to secure a place in European competitions. Real Madrid enters into the match after a difficult 2-1 victory over Alaves on Tuesday. Alvaro Arbeola's team is on a series of productive matches, with their last 8 matches consistently resulting in a goal in both goals. Kylian Mbappe is in great form, the league's top scorer with 23 goals. Real Betis are currently 7th in LaLiga. Betis broke a losing streak and beat Girona 3-2 away in the last round. Betis are traditionally strong at home, having scored most of their goals in front of their own fans. For the guests Eder Militao is out with a thigh injury suffered against Alaves. David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois are also continuing their recovery. Antonio Rudiger is expected to start in the center of defense. The good news for Manuel Pellegrini is the return of defender Diego Llorente and striker Cucho Hernandez. Isco is also close to a return, but will likely remain on the bench.
