The Verdiblancos have scored 18 of their 42 goals from deadball situations
Real Madrid hostReal Betis at Valdebebas on Saturday evening hoping to pile pressure onto both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga Santander title race.
Betis, meanwhile, will want to temporarily move into fifth place as they continue to aim towards as high a finish as they can manage this season.
Corners are a weapon for both
Nobody has scored more goals from set pieces than Betis have this season, with set-piece goals accounting for 18 of their 42 in LaLiga Santander.
Six of those have been penalties, and eight have been from corners. Their eight goals from corners is again a LaLiga Santander high, followed byReal Madrid's six.
Betis arrive in the capital hoping to take advantage of one of the champions' biggest weaknesses. Los Blancos have conceded 11 goals from set pieces themselves, accounting for 45.8 percent of the 24 goals they've leaked.
Real Madrid, though, haven't conceded from a direct freekick in four years, since April 29, 2017, andThibaut Courtois will want that record to continue on Saturday.
