Nobody can argue that Real Madrid don’t deserve to lift the trophy on Saturday, as they have suffered a solitary defeat in the league this season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side even managed to chalk up nine consecutive wins between mid-March and mid-May, keeping seven clean sheets in the process.
Last weekend, Los Blancos played out a crazy 4-4 draw against Villarreal, with former Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth netting all four goals for the hosts.
Having won 16 and drawn two of their 18 home league games this term, Real Madrid will be confident of finishing the season with another victory.
As for Real Betis, they are guaranteed to finish seventh this season, as they sit four points above Villarreal and four points behind Real Sociedad.
It would not be unfair to say that Betis have experienced an inconsistent campaign, with lengthy winless runs followed by extended unbeaten streaks.
The Andalusians enjoyed a run of four wins and two draws before suffering a 2-0 defeat against Sociedad last time out, ending all hope of a European finish.
It is also worth noting that Betis have struggled on the road this season, winning only five of their 18 away league outings.
Head-to-head: Interestingly, Real Madrid and Real Betis have served up four draws in their last six La Liga meetings, including three goalless stalemates.
When you look at the bigger picture, Betis have managed to win just one of their previous nine league matches against Los Blancos.
Team news: Real Madrid will finish the season without David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni, who both remain sidelined due to injury.
On the flip side, Real Betis’ lengthy injury list features Isco, Chimy Avila, Cedric Bakambu, Marc Bartra, German Pezzella and Guido Rodriguez.
When you couple Real Madrid’s impressive home record with Real Betis’ iffy away form, all the signs point towards a comfortable win for the champions.
Forebet predicts that Real Madrid will score over 2.5 goals on their way to defeating Real Betis, although the visitors are expected to find the back of the net.
