Atletico Madrid
- Atletico Madrid are the clear favorites for this game at 1.53, while Real Betis are available at 5.5, which seems extremely high odds for a side that has only lost two of their last five matches (Won 3).
- Oscar Fernandez’s side are in 3rd place in LaLiga 2025/2026, with 45 points from 22 games, while Manuel Pellegrini’s side are 5th with 35 from the same number of games.
- Atletico Madrid are in mixed form, having won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, although they have won 2 of their last 3 at home.
- The recent blip for Atletico came on Thursday when they were defeated 2-1 at home by the Norwegian battlers FK Bodo Glimt in the Champions League, having only days earlier seen off Real Mallorca 3-0 at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano.
Real Betis
- Real Betis have won 2, drawn 7 and lost 2 of their 11 away games in this season’s LaLiga.
- Betis are in great form, having won their last 2 games and lost two of their previous three, while they beat Feyenoord 2-1 in the Europa League and Valencia CF 2-1 at home in their previous LaLiga outing.
Head-to-Head
Atletico Madrid have won 3, drawn 1 and lost only 1 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings in all competitions .
Key Players
- Fernandez’s style is to be compact at the back, with Jan Oblak in goal, and very intense in the pressing game, while Griezmann, the creative link player, is the catalyst for many of their attacks.
- In Alexander Soerloth, who has 7 goals in 21 appearances in LaLiga, they have a targetman who can win aerial duels and cause problems.
- Nabil Fekir is the hub of their creative play, but Juan Hernandez is their top scorer with 8 goals in 19 games and he’s always a threat at the top of his game.
- With Ezequiel Avila in form, Betis have added bite to their attack and should be able to register at least a consolation goal against the league’s meanest defence.
Betting Insights
- Atletico Madrid are the clear favorites for this game at 1.53, while Real Betis are available at 5.5, which seems extremely high odds for a side that has only lost two of their last five matches (Won 3).

- Both teams to score looks the best play and Betis should be able to get on the scoreboard despite Atletico’s mean defence.
