Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis Predictions

• Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with these opponents, winning seven
• Real Betis have scored just seven goals in their last nine away games
• The last two meetings between the pair have seen a combined one goal scored

Goals to be in short supply in Madrid

Atletico Madrid have hit a bit of a rough patch lately, losing four of their last six games in all competitions, although they should fare better at home, where they are unbeaten in their last 24 matches.

Real Betis are ten points and two places behind their hosts in the Spanish top flight but will arrive in the capital with some added confidence after winning their last two away league matches, however they had failed to win any of their previous nine.

Both sides are inconsistent and have lacked a cutting edge in recent weeks with Betis in particular struggling to find the net recently, scoring just seven goals in their last nine away games.

The last two meetings between the pair have seen just one goal scored in total and another tight affair should be expected in Madrid.

Two mean defences could lead to tight affair

Only Real Madrid have conceded less goals than the 26 Real Betis have shipped in La Liga this term, suggesting they should have enough to keep an Atletico Madrid side that has blanked in four of their last six matches relatively quiet on Sunday.

However, Atleti themselves have only conceded 28 league goals this term, which points towards there being minimal net-bulging action in Madrid when these two meet this weekend.

Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in eight of Betis’ last nine La Liga away games as well as in seven of the hosts’ last 11 matches, suggesting it could pay to back the same outcome in this clash.
