Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips

The 2021-22 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid lock horns with a formidable Real Betis side at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Sunday.

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Atletico Madrid are currently in fifth place in the La Liga standings and have been surprisingly inconsistent so far this season. Los Colchoneros eased past Celta Vigo by a comfortable 2-0 margin in their previous league game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline against a stronger opponent this weekend.

Real Betis, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have excelled under Manuel Pellegrini this season. The Andalusian outfit suffered a 2-1 defeat against local rivals Sevilla last week and will need to work hard to make amends for this match.
