Atleti to host an in-form Real Betis
An intense league match awaits in the Wanda Metropolitano.
The Wanda Metropolitano will host a fierce and competitive match between our side and Real Betis at 8:45 p.m. CET.
Betis are on the rise and are unbeaten in their last six league matches, one win away from setting a club record. In these six matches, the Andalusian side have conceded just two goals. After having defensive troubles in the beginning of the season, the arrival of Marc Bartra to Betis has given them a nice defensive solidity.
Our lads come to this match from the tough loss in Anoeta against Real Sociedad and will look to come back to winning ways. In the first half of the season, our match in the Benito Villamarín ended 0-1 with Saúl giving us the win.
Diego Pablo Simeone has faced a Quique Setién coached team four times and has never lost. However, he expects a tough game against Betis this Sunday.
"Betis have improved a lot defensively since Bartra arrived. Since then, they’ve encountered a balance between their offense and defense," he said. "They’ve won six straight matches and they’ve been playing good football."
