Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Real Betis’ last eight outings
• Six of Atletico Madrid’s last eight fixtures have seen both teams net
• The visitors have not kept a clean sheet in five attempts

Betis searching for consistency

It has been a bit of a frustrating period for Real Betis, who have not managed back-to-back wins since the middle of September.

They have played seven games since then, but kept just one clean sheet in the process, with five of their last eight outings seeing both teams score.

That includes a 1-1 stalemate with FC Copenhagan in Europe in midweek, and means both teams have also netted in three of their last four home matches.

Will Atletico make them pay?

That is good news for Atletico Madrid, who have some defensive problems of their own, as evidenced in a shock 3-1 defeat at home to Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

That was the sixth time in eight games that Diego Simeone’s side have seen both teams score, keeping just one clean sheet during that period.

They have been particularly leaky on the road, managing just two clean sheets in six outings, three of which have seen both teams score.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
