Atletico Madrid is gearing up to face Real Betis at the Wanda Metropolitano in La Liga on Sunday. Both teams are vying for a spot in European competitions next season. Atletico suffered a setback in the Copa del Rey, losing to Athletic Bilbao, and they’re trailing Inter Milan in the Champions League. They’re also fighting to secure a top-four finish in La Liga.
Despite their recent struggles, Atletico has a strong home record this season, with only one loss in 13 matches at Wanda Metropolitano. In their last meeting with Real Betis, Atletico emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. Real Betis, on the other hand, has been inconsistent but remains unbeaten in their last five league matches.
Injuries continue to plague both teams. Atletico is without Antoine Griezmann, Jose Gimenez, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Thomas Lemar. Real Betis has a lengthy injury list, including key players like Nabil Fekir and Sergi Altimira.
Potential lineups for Atletico Madrid include Oblak, Molina, Savic, Witsel, Hermoso, Riquelme, Barrios, Koke, Llorente, Memphis, and Morata. Real Betis may start with Silva, Bellerin, Pezzella, Riad, Sabaly, Cardoso, Carvalho, Fornals, Rodri, Avila, and Willian Jose.
With both teams eager for a win, Sunday’s match promises to be an exciting showdown.
