We have the reigning kings of Spanish football’s premier stage, FC Barcelona, kicking things off in their current title defence this season in style after finally getting the better of Athletic Club Bilbao following two failed attempts to take care of business back in their two-legged match-up in the Supercopa de España. If you’re rooting for the defending champions of the league, the Catalan giants finally taming the Lions of Bilbao is definitely a positive sign heading towards what would be another long trek towards the coveted Spanish La Liga championship since they have proven that they are finally ready to take off after coming up with the huge win in the opener.
As for everybody else, each and every single Spanish club that we have competing in the top flight this season continue to jockey for position, hoping that they can keep the prize within their crosshairs and not fall behind completely in the order of things once we get into the meat of this year’s Primera Liga battles. Of course, all those teams with high aspirations for the championship would have to start winning games in bunches first and as far as that goes, we have two sides that are still looking for a first victory of the current campaign on a collision course as Real Betis pay Real Madrid a visit at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu this August 30.
Real Betis, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *20.00 to beat Real Madrid, head to the Bernabéu fresh from their come-from-behind outing against Villarreal CF, one of the more established squads in the Primera Liga, that saw them deny the Yellow Submarine from staying afloat in their opening fixture of the season. And just in case you missed that one, Villarreal was nursing a narrow 1-0 lead then, an advantage that they came up with as early as the 31st minute of the first half, up until the closing moments of the game when Real Betis scored the equalising goal, much to the delight of their fans at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.
In spite of the fact that Real Betis did not really win the contest, the Green and Whites can still treat that one as a successful outing considering the way that they’ve been trailing Villarreal all game long before eventually tying the match-up. Of course, playing against Real Madrid in a few days is an entirely different monster and they would need to be in their top form to give themselves a fighting chance against arguably one of the best squads in Spanish football today. However, with the way that the Los Blancos struggled in their season opener for the 2015-16 Spanish La Liga campaign against Sporting Gijon, I wouldn’t be so sure which side would need a fighting chance because watching Real have a tough time against a newly-promoted side to the Primera Liga don’t really promote much confidence.
Yes, while Real Betis had to come up with a late goal against Villarreal – one of the better teams in the league, to salvage what would’ve been a loss, Real Madrid just couldn’t do anything against a Gijon outfit that the Los Blancos should have made quick work of. And instead of putting together a dominant performance to kick off their latest bid for the Spain La Liga trophy, Real had to settle with a scoreless draw that exposed the fact that this Madrid club need to prioritize the quality of their goal attempts than the quantity of it because, as it turns out, flinging goals left and right just wouldn’t work anymore, even against lesser football clubs like Sporting Gijon.
