Real Betis vs Real Madrid Head-to-Head
Recent meetings show a difficult trip for Real Madrid. They have failed to win their last four away league games against Betis in Seville, drawing three and losing one.
The last five competitive meetings include a 1-1 draw in April 2026, a 5-1 Real Madrid win in January 2026, a 2-1 Betis victory in March 2025, a 2-0 Real Madrid win in September 2024 and a 0-0 draw in May 2024.
Real Madrid have scored eight more goals than they have conceded across their first three league games. Betis, however, conceded five against Levante in their latest outing. The Real Betis vs Real Madrid clash therefore brings two very different recent results into the spotlight.
