Atletico Madrid and Real Betis meet in a match from the 7th round of La Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, from 20:00, on Wanda Metropolitano.
Diego Simeone’s team appears in this duel after the humiliation suffered in the Champions League, 0-4 on the field of Bayern Munich. In the championship, Atletico is undefeated in four matches, with two wins and two draws, but also with one goal conceded, zero in the last three rounds.
Real Betis has only one point more than Madrid, although they played two more matches. With nine points accumulated, Sevilla has the second most modest defense of the season, with nine goals conceded, being tied with Valencia. Two of the three victories obtained by Betis this season came away, 1-0 at Alaves and 2-0 at Valencia, yielding with the score of 0-3 on the field of Getafe.
In the previous season, Atletico reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where they were eliminated by Leipzig, with the score 2-1.
Despite the four goals conceded in Munich, Atletico remains a team with a top defense and we expect to prove this in the match with Betis. We bet on a minimum of one point won by the hosts, but also on a maximum of three goals scored in the match.

The Madrilenians won both direct duels from the previous season, each time with a difference of one goal;
