Nature of the match: La Liga 10th round

Game time: October 28, 4:00

Judging from the standings, this is a close contest. Atletico Madrid and Betis are tied on points, ranking fifth and sixth only on goal difference. However, an in-depth analysis of the two teams' season trajectories reveals a huge contrast.

Real Betis, under the guidance of Chilean engineer Pellegrini, is continuing their steady and controlled football style. The team has been in good form recently and has remained unbeaten for 5 rounds in the league (3 wins, 2 draws). So far this season, Betis has performed strongly at home, with 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 home league games, scoring 9 points, and its home record ranks among the top in the league. Their solid defense is their cornerstone, and they have only conceded 10 goals in the league so far.

Atletico Madrid also maintains its unbeaten streak in 5 rounds (3 wins, 2 draws). Griezmann is still the absolute core of the team's frontcourt. Atletico Madrid's defensive data is equally impressive, conceding only 0.78 goals per game, ranking second in the league, proving that the title of "Iron-blooded Atletico Madrid" is by no means unfounded.

However, a fatal "curse" plagues Simeone's team: in 4 away games in the league this season, they actually had 3 draws and 1 loss, without a win. How to break the "away curse" is undoubtedly the most serious issue facing Simeone.

Although Atletico Madrid has the upper hand with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the past 5 total encounters, Real Betis has achieved an unbeaten record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 draws against Atletico Madrid in the past 5 home games. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Real Betis, who plays at home.

In a clash at the same venue last season, Betis defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0. However, in the most recent encounter (May 19, 2025), Atletico Madrid completed a 4-1 victory at home.

Considering Atletico Madrid's away difficulties and Betis' key absence, a small-score draw is a more likely outcome. If Atletico Madrid can seize the counterattack efficiency, a small away victory is not impossible.
