Lucky enough to only bet with the draw no bet option for Betis, but if I followed my ego then of course I would still choose Betis to win at 2.xx odds. But because I felt there was something I couldn't understand Betis against a team in the relegation zone still getting odds around 2.xx, so I decided to only choose the draw no bet option, because for me it was quite unfortunate to miss this match without betting. But indeed, in La Liga Betis is only good when playing at home and it is very different when Betis play in the Europa League which still gets good results when playing away.
There's no doubting your belief in choosing a draw, it's true what you say that it's impossible, at least you have a point of view that people might not think, that Elche are playing at home will definitely play hard with this important match, even though Madrid are in very good form, but I don't think this is an important match for Madrid, because we know that Madrid are focused on the next match in the UEFA Champions League, and for sure Madrid will field a second tier player, to face Elche.
Real Madrid are still focused in all the competitions they play in, securing full points is a step to keep the points tally from Barcelona. Three goals were disallowed in this match, respectively in the 6th, 26th and 61st minutes, whereas if two goals from Benzema were not disallowed, then in that match Benzema had a hat-trick.
Real Madrid's line-up is also filled with core players, there are not many rotations made by Ancelotti, this is a sign that they are still very serious about playing with anyone to collect points.
The three-point victory this time, further widens the points gap with Barcelona, at least they can focus on facing the Champions League and against Sevilla next week.
Lol, I didn't expect anyone to think that this match was not important for Real Madrid, even though with the competition in the standings, of course Real Madrid are still looking for point by point to make their position more secure and comfortable at the top of the standings. Unless Real Madrid already have a lot of points that are difficult for the teams below to catch up, but that often happens only towards the end of the season. But if it's still at the beginning of the season that hasn't even entered the half of the season, then of course all matches will be important matches for all teams to continue to collect points and to make their position safer in the standings.
