Atletico has a higher quality squad, but Betis is going upwards while Simeone’s are seeing how the calendar is eating them and little is left of that mattress that they had for months.
▪️Betis is marching firmly in its fight with Real Sociedad and Villarreal to enter Europe. Last day he tied at Martinez Valero de Elche at 1 with a goal from Borja Iglesias from the penalty spot. At home he has been doing better lately, and in his 5 most recent games he has won 4 times, losing only to Barcelona. Manuel Pellegrini has the doubts of Andres Guardado and Borja Iglesias, who had to retire in Elche. Victor Ruiz for his part is insured by sanction. The initial line-up of Betis would be formed by Claudio Bravo; Emerson de Souza, Aissa Mandi, Marc Bartra, Alex Moreno; Guido Rodriguez, Cristian Tello, Diego Lainez, Nabil Fekir, Sergio Canales and Borja Iglesias.
▪️Simeone has a problem with casualties, since he is missing 2 men who contribute goals in abundance, such as Luis Suarez and Marcos Llorente, which would lead the already recovered Joao Felix to the starting position. Nor will Kondogbia be due to complete the cycle of yellow cards. Atletico could jump onto the pitch with Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Mario Hermoso, Yannick Carrasco; Koke Resurreccion, Saul Niguez, Thomas Lemar; Angel Correa and Joao Felix.
Football Prediction of the Day Betis vs Atl. Madrid
My forecast is that they will tie, I don’t think Atletico will leave Villamarin with 3 points and less seeing how the Verdiblancos have been spending them lately at home.
