Atlético Madrid vs Real Betis Preview and Team News

Atlético Madrid Team News

After a convincing victory over Real Sociedad, Atletico were outclassed against Osasuna in the last round of La Liga (0-2). They barely created any chances and eventually succumbed to defeat.

Atletico have no motivation left this season. They are guaranteed to qualify for the Champions League, and the title holder’s fate is already decided. The only thing they can potentially aim for is closing in third place.

Pablo Barrios was substituted in the second half, and his participation in the upcoming fixture is questionable. Otherwise, Diego Simeone has a fully fit squad, but we expect some changes in the starting lineup. 

Atlético Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Betis

Atlético Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Betis: (4-4-2): Oblak; Mandava, Le Normand, Gimenez, Llorente; Lino, Koke, de Paul, Simeone; Alvarez, Griezmann.

Real Betis Team News

Betis dropped crucial points against Rayo Vallecano. In a four-goal thriller, Manuel Pellegrini’s men were 2-0 down, but thanks to goals from Cucho Hernandez and Isco, they made a comeback.

If there were any slim chances of entering the Champions League zone, they remain purely mathematical. With 59 points, Betis sit sixth in the table, five behind Villarreal. They should definitely think about the upcoming Conference League final.

Youssouf Sabaly limped off early in the first half, and his involvement is in question. Chimy Avila, Hector Bellerin, Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, and Francisco Vieites are also sidelined.

Atlético Madrid vs Real Betis Prediction 

• Pick: Atletico to Win
• Odds: 1.95 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Atlético Madrid 2-1 Real Betis

Despite the loss in the round and lack of motivation, the hosts are still a formidable force in front of their fans. With La Liga approaching the end, Diego Simeone will look forward to finishing their campaign in style.

Also, on the last 11 H2H occasions, Atletico won eight, drew two, and lost only once. Moreover, Betis have likely abandoned their hopes of reaching the CL group stage and will shift their attention to the Conference League.

Like other H2H games, we expect this one to be tense, but eventually the home squad should claim a victory. Therefore, we recommend picking Atletico Madrid to win. 

Atlético Madrid vs Real Betis Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)

Atletico are no longer the stronghold they once were: difficult for opposing teams to conquer. Simeone’s charges still enjoy one of the best records in La Liga, but have conceded more frequently.

Betis are entertaining, and if we take a look at their last nine matches, all of them ended with both clubs scoring. With the help of Antony and Isco, they should create dangerous opportunities against Atletico.

We think it won’t be a one-sided game, and the visitors will also receive their chances. An exchange of goals is anticipated, and our second pick here would be both teams to score.
