Predictive analytics suggests this should be a highly competitive game with plenty of entertainment, so continue below for our big match preview.
The game between Atletico Madrid and Real Betis will take place on the 3rd of March at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano. The hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on 52 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 42 points.
Atletico Madrid come into the game on the back of a hugely disappointing 3-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey semi-final, second leg on Thursday night.
Atletico Madrid had a one goal deficit to overturn from the first leg but found themselves 1-0 down on the night after only 12 minutes. Atletico Madrid conceded a second goal shortly before the interval and a third goal in the second half.
The defeat at Athletic Bilbao means Atletico Madrid have won only 1 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The victory came over Las Palmas at home and was an excellent 5-0 win but there have been defeats against Sevilla away in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao at home in the Copa del Rey, and Inter Milan away in the Champions League.
However, stats show Atletico Madrid are undefeated in their last 24 home matches in La Liga. They have won their last 4 home league games and have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 24 home La Liga matches.
Real Betis travel to the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano having beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at home in La Liga last weekend.
It was an excellent victory for Real Betis in the battle for the European places and they opened the scoring in the 13th minute.
Real Betis doubled their advantage in the 38th minute but conceded on the stoke of half time. With their opponents down to ten men, Real Betis scored their third goal in the 67th minute.
The win over Athletic Bilbao means Real Betis are undefeated in 6 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Mallorca and Cadiz away in La Liga plus draws at home with Getafe and Alaves.
Trends show Real Betis have not lost a match in 18 of their last 20 games in La Liga. They are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 on the road in the league, with 6 of those matches ending in draws.
Team news: Atletico Madrid have several players in the treatment room, including Antoine Griezmann, José Giménez, Cesar Azpilicueta, Thomas Lemar, and Vitolo.
Real Betis have a significant injury list, including Nabil Fekir, Sergi Altimira, Aitor Ruibal García, Cedric Bakambu, Abner Vinicius, Isco, Ayoze Perez, Guido Rodriguez, and Marc Bartra.
Everything is pointing towards a high scoring game, with both teams finding the back of the net. Atletico Madrid are in a bit of a slump right now and Real Betis are tough to beat on the road, meaning this game could end level.
