• Date: Sunday, 2nd March 2023

Atletico Madrid will have another season without any trophy. Since winning the La Liga title back in the 2020/21 season, they have failed to win anything. This season, Diego Simeone’s side was knocked out of the Champions League in the group phase by finishing fourth in group B with Porto, Club Brugge, and Bayer Leverkusen. In Copa del Rey, they were eliminated by Real Madrid 3:1 in the quarter-finals, and in La Liga, they are not great either. Atletico Madrid are 3rd with 51 points in 26 rounds, already 17 points behind the league’s leader – Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid are in very good form lately. In the previous eight matches, they won 20 points, with only three conceded goals in that period. Still, most of those games were against teams from the bottom half of the league’s table.

Real Betis won the Spanish Cup the last season but failed to secure fourth place in La Liga, which would give them an appearance in the Champions League. They finished 5th with five points away from the fourth-placed Sevilla. They are in fifth place this season, only three points away from Real Sociedad and the Champions League spot.

Recently, Real Betis have been very good in La Liga, with 14 points in six games. Still, on the other hand, they were totally dominated by Manchester United in the Europa League playoffs. With elimination from the Europa League, Real Betis will focus on La Liga and reaching fourth place.
