Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis Match Analysis & Prediction
02/04/2023 10:00 pm
Atletico Madrid will be looking to make it four La Liga victories in a row when they welcome fellow top-four hopefuls Real Betis to Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.
The hosts are currently third in the table, six points ahead of fifth-placed Real Betis, with both teams battling to secure Champions League football for the 2023-24 campaign.
Atletico’s absence from European competition in 2023 was hugely disappointing for the club, while they saw their journey in the Copa del Rey come to an end in January when they lost to Real Madrid.
However, Diego Simeone’s side are in excellent form in the league, remaining unbeaten since the start of January, winning seven and drawing three of their last 10 matches in La Liga.
Atletico have won each of their last three league matches, beating Sevilla 6-1 and Girona 1-0 before claiming a 3-0 victory over Valencia before the international break.
Meanwhile, Real Betis secured a 1-0 victory over Mallorca before the international break, with Borja Iglesias scoring the only goal of the contest in the early stages of the second half.
The result moved the Seville outfit onto 45 points, leaving them in fifth place in the table, just three points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad on the same number of matches.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side were knocked out of the Europa League by Manchester United in the middle of March, meaning that they only have the league to focus on for the remainder of the season.
Atletico Madrid vs. Real Betis Head to head
In the 52 previous meetings between these two teams, Atletico have claimed 26 victories while Real Betis have won 12, and they have drawn in 14. Real Betis have scored 47 goals and conceded 76 in the process.
