Match Preview

Real Betis have nothing to play for having secured their place in La Liga, but Atletico Madrid still need three points. Atletico Madrid's win would ensure that they finish third ahead of Sevilla and qualify directly for the Champions League group stages. Their away form has been very good, especially in recent weeks – Atletico only drew at Santiago Bernabeu in the derby against Real Madrid, but comfortably won to nil against decent opponents like Las Palmas, Espanyol, and Malaga. That makes our Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid predictions easier to make.

Real Betis are very inconsistent in 15th place, and their defense has been disastrous lately – they conceded eight goals when thrashed by newly promoted Alaves and Leganes. We take that into account in our Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid betting tips.

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid Picks and Betting Advice

Atletico Madrid are clear favourites as we explained in our Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid preview, but that becomes even more obvious when taking past results into account. Believe it or not, Atletico Madrid won all of the last seven fixtures against Real Betis. Los Colchoneros were last beaten by their opponents in La Liga back in 2011, when the coach Diego Simeone was still in Argentina. In short, the odds on Atletico Madrid should have been lower than 1.50, and it's a very decent option to make money. If you are looking for higher profits, you can assume that Atletico Madrid will easily win by two goals or more – the odds stand at 2.20.
