Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis Preview
Last time out in this fixture at Estadio Benito Villamarín, the home of Real Betis, the game finished 1-0 for Manuel Pellegrini’s side with Jose Gimenez scoring the own goal for the Madrileno side, on 27th October, 2024.
Atletico Madrid
Riding on the back of a defeat against Osasuna on the road last weekend, Atletico de Madrid will look to come back stronger and finish the season on a high. Their striker, Alexander Sorloth, has scored 17 goals this season, scoring 4 goals twice in a match, making him the only player in La Liga history to score 4 goals twice apart from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite not having an objective to fight for remaining in the season, the Madrid side will still be hungry for prestige and home form.
Real Betis
Real Betis have qualified for the UEFA Conference League finals to be played against Chelsea and will have an eye on that game throughout the two remaining games of this season. They are positioned 6th in the table and will keep fighting for the Champions League spot, but can not afford to relax or sit back because Celta Vigo are breathing down their neck on the 7th spot in the table. With two games and six points to play for, they can eventually overcome the sixth spot and replace Villareal to finish 5th, giving them a potential shot at the Champions League.

Atleti have scored 60 goals this season, and their front two of Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth have scored 15 and 17 goals each.

Alexander Sorloth to score anytime @ +130 as per FanDuel: As mentioned before, the 29-year-old Norwegian striker has 19 goal contributions in the Atletico Madrid colours in La Liga, with 23 overall in goal contributions, and is likely to be the one on the score sheet in the fixture against Real Betis.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis Predictions
The game looks strong on paper and will be highly anticipated by both sets of fans as the last blockbuster game of the season. But defeating Atletico at their home in the last home game of the season looks like a big mountain to climb for Betis. They can surprise big teams this season, as they have proved already this year, so we cannot completely rule them out of the predictions.
Our Final Prediction: A 4-3 win in a high scoring game at the iconic Metropolitano will see the Red and White faithful get their loyalty justified after another trophyless season, a fitting farewell to the passion displayed in the campaign by Atletico Madrid supporters.
