Real Betis set to frustrate Atletico
3130

On Sunday afternoon, Real Betis host Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, as the visitors attempt to get their La Liga title challenge back on track.

Real Betis have climbed up to tenth place in the Spanish top-flight table after a recent good run of form, which has put the home side just six points behind the visitors in the table.

The Andalusians are unbeaten in four league games, having recorded three victories and a draw. A 2-2 draw against Espanyol last time out ended a promising three-game winning run.

The home team has certainly found their shooting boots in La Liga of late, scoring at least two goals in their last four league outings. Their goalscoring exploits have contributed to their being over 2.5 goals scored in their last five league outings.

Betis have a decent recent home record in the Spanish top-flight, having recorded four wins in their last six outings on home soil. Incredibly, both teams have scored in Real Betis’ last 16 home matches in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid have slipped to fifth place in the Spanish top-flight after just one victory in their last four league outings. A 2-0 victory over Osasuna last time out in La Liga ended a run of three games without a victory. The result means that Atletico’s last four league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Diego Simeone’s team have struggled upfront in recent league games, as they have scored just three goals in their last four La Liga outings.

They are unbeaten in six away matches in the Spanish top-flight, but their last five games on their travels have finished all-square. The visitor’s recent away matches in La Liga have been low-scoring.

Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which will dent Atletico’s chances of getting anywhere near the top of the table.
