Betis's Home Fortress: Real Madrid's Four-Game La Liga Jinx
4 Sep
Summary
- Real Madrid has not won in their last four visits to Real Betis.
- Betis has secured points in five of the last seven league encounters.
- This home jinx for Real Madrid mirrors a similar run in 1999.
Real Madrid embarks on a challenging La Liga fixture against Real Betis on Friday, confronting a significant historical hoodoo. The team has struggled to secure a victory in their last four away matches against Betis in the league, registering three draws and one loss.
This pattern contrasts sharply with their previous form, where they had won five of their preceding six visits, losing only once. The current winless run at Betis's stadium is the longest since February 1999, when Real Madrid experienced a similar five-game stretch without a win, drawing three and losing two.
Despite this historical difficulty, Real Madrid has otherwise performed well against Andalusian teams, securing points in 21 of their last 22 visits. However, their overall perfect start to the current season will be rigorously tested by a Betis side that has taken points in five of the last seven meetings between the two clubs.
