Real Madrid vs Real Betis Current League Standings

Both Madrid and Betis have had a good 2025/26 season thus far, but have still fallen short of their targets.

Madrid currently sits second in the La Liga table and looked like they were in pole position to win the league before they went through a rough patch in which they dropped nine points. This has led the Spanish titans to second place in the league, four points behind rivals Barcelona.

Betis, on the other hand, sit 6th in the table. As it stands, they are replicating their form from the same season. Their fans will want to move onwards and upwards to the Champions League places.
