Betis vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: Expect a goal exchange

One of the central matches of the 11th round of the Spanish La Liga will be between Betis Sevilla and Atletico de Madrid. They are direct rivals and contenders for a place in the Champions League, and the bookmakers are favoring the team from the capital, despite the field factor.

Betis has a five-match unbeaten streak in two tournaments. In the Europa League, the South has four points against Roma. In the Spanish championship, Betis drew with Valladolid and Cadiz and beat Almeria 3:1. Despite the absence of defeats, Betis' recent results can hardly be called a success; after all, in the matches against Valladolid and Cadiz, the future hosts were expected and predicted somewhat different results, rather than a draw. As a result, Betis dropped out of the top four. Betis have the best home statistics in La Liga, with 100% wins, five out of five, on a goal difference of 10:2.

Atletico Madrid hasn't lost in their last four games (victories over Girona and Athletic, a draw against Rayo Vallecano on home soil, and a draw with Brugge in the 4th round of the Champions League). In their last four games in La Liga, Atletico has scored 10 points against Betis with only 5, allowing them to catch up with the Sevillians on points and even overtake the South in the table thanks to a better goal difference. The Madrid side has the second-best away record in the division, with 13 points in five rounds and an 8:1 goal difference.

Betis is a formidable opponent for Atlético de Madrid, but they have a strong history at Villamarin. The best bet for the upcoming game is for both teams to score. Atlético de Madrid is good on the road, and Betis has scored in every match at home. We wouldn't be surprised if they ended up in a draw.
