Betis – Atletico Madrid Free Betting Tips
Betis has had a very good season so far. Better than all Andalusian fans expected, and this is largely due to coach Manuel Pellegrini, who has managed to build a very solid group at the Andalusian side.
The results, as well as the performances this season, have shown that Betis’ place in the standings is well-deserved, and the Andalusians can continue their good form in the coming rounds. The form at the moment is relatively good, with three wins and two victories. Morale, however, is not at its best.
Betis is coming off a defeat in the Andalusian derby, 1-2 against Sevilla. It was a balanced match, but the victory achieved by the occupant of second place in La Liga is a perfectly deserved one. Pellegrini’s side scored in extra time, far too late to have any hope.
With this defeat, the team remained on 46 points, still in third place in La Liga. Only another defeat could knock Betis off the podium. But more than that, coupled with other results, the Andalusians could even drop out of the top 5.
In other words, the saying “it’s hard to get to the top, but harder to stay there” applies to the Andalusians. The hard part now comes for Betis, who if they fail to maintain their level of play, may lose what they have gathered in more than half the season.
In games played at the Benito Villamarín this season, Betis have not had the best run. However, the Andalusians have only four defeats in the 13 games played, and in the last 5 games in front of their own fans, the team has lost twice. Can the hosts come out undefeated in the Betis-Atletico clash?
DRAW – Odds: 3.50
