A clash with Betis to start the week
Atlético will face Real Betis at La Cartuja this Monday at 21:00 CEST.
Atlético begin the week with a big game against Real Betis. The team will be looking for their second consecutive league win this Monday at La Cartuja at 21:00 CEST.
Simeone's side fell to Arsenal in the Champions League last Tuesday, but they won their most recent fixture in LALIGA against Osasuna. A lone goal from Almada earned them all three points, taking Atlético up to 16 points and fourth place in the table.
Real Betis have the same number of points and sit fifth in LALIGA. Pellegrini's men, unbeaten in domestic competition since August, are enjoying a fine season, drawing 2-2 away to Villarreal in their most recent outing. Monday's match will be their first home fixture since September, when they beat Osasuna 2-0.
Atlético's last meeting with Real Betis, played in May at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, ended in a 4-1 win. However, last season's match at the Benito Villamarín saw the home side edge it by a single goal.
