• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 27.10.2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)

After some tough chalenges in European competitions, Betis and Atlético Madrid are back to business in La Liga.

Neither club found the sweet taste of victory in their recent matches in the Conference League and Champions League, respectively.

Betis managed a disappointing 1:1 draw against Denmark's Copenhagen at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. The Greens kicked things off strong, taking the lead in the 8th minute with a strike from Abda Ezzalzouli. However, their hopes were dashed 15 minutes from time when Copenhagen equalized through a penalty converted by Kevim Dix. This result adds to their woes, following a loss to Legia in their opening European fixture. For Betis, the focus now shifts to the domestic league, where they sit 7th with 15 points. With some favorable results elsewhere, they could still have a shot at breaking into the top four and securing Champions League football for next season.

On the flip side, Atlético Madrid faced another disappointing result, falling 3:1 at home to Lille in the Champions League. With only 3 points from three games, their European campaign is off to a rocky start despite a favorable schedule. This defeat should serve as a wake-up call for the club, as they aim to bounce back this Sunday. In La Liga, their form has been better, but they trail Barcelona by 7 points and are 4 points behind their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.

Betis vs. Atlético Madrid Pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

If it weren’t for El Clasico grabbing all the attention this weekend, this clash between Betis and Atlético Madrid would be the match to watch. Both teams have a lot on the line. Betis hasn’t tasted victory against Atlético in their last ten meetings, but they’re hungry to turn that around. With Atlético coming off a rough loss to Lille, Betis might just see a chance to capitalize.

For Betis to snag a win, they need to step up their game. While their defense has been pretty solid, they’ve been struggling to put the ball in the net, which is a major hurdle. Historically, Atlético under Diego Simeone knows how to handle teams like Betis, especially when the pressure is on. So, expect a tight contest filled with tension, possible mistakes, and likely a few yellow cards flying around.

Given the importance of this match, UNDER 2.5 GOALS stands out as the safest bet.
