Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid Predictions
- Atletico have won 16 of the last 21 meetings between these two sides
- The visitors won 22 of their 30 meetings with sides outside the top five last term
- Manuel Pellegrini has lost all four meetings with Diego Simeone in La Liga
Bright start for both
Real Betis got off to a great start last weekend, winning 2-1 at a Villarreal side who have been weakened this summer. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid ran out 3-1 winners against Granada and they’re hoping for another win in this trip south.
Atletico finished some way off the pace last term, struggling against the top sides in the league. However, they didn’t find Betis as tricky of a proposition as Real Madrid and Barca, winning home and away to the side which finished sixth last term. They picked up 22 wins against sides from sixth down, so Betis seem outmatched heading into Sunday night’s big clash.
Visitors’ head-to-head advantage
Real Betis have won just one of their 21 meetings with Atletico Madrid in La Liga since Diego Simeone’s arrival, losing 16 times. In the 21st century, the visitors have won this fixture an impressive 11 times in 18 meetings, while they look tactically well set up to prosper.
The visitors have improved their style of play, building up from the back and looking stronger in possession of late. Given that only Getafe (25.3%) and Mallorca (31%) had a lower possession rate last weekend than Real Betis (36.6%), Atleti should see plenty of the ball and create a lot of chances.
Betis are a good bet to do well this season, but they’re up against it in this clash. Look to Atletico to secure all three points, with Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini losing all four of his previous clashes with Simone.
