30.10.2021 08:00

Sunday afternoon, the twelfth round of Spain's top football competition will feature a match between European Cup contenders Atletico Madrid, the defending champions, and visiting Betis.

Background information, news and team form

Defending champions Atletico have had an uneven performance so far this season. On the one hand, Atletico managed to beat Barcelona comfortably 2-0 on home soil, with the help of former Barcelona striker Suarez, with whom Atletico managed to win the title last season. But on the other hand, Atletico can also lose to the last team in the table, which hasn't won a single game so far. Atletico is currently in sixth place in the table with 19 points, but still has one less match to play, unlike the other teams. Atletico is playing in the Champions League this year and even there the performance is not the best. Atleti have 4 points after the games played, after a win against Ac Milan and a goalless draw at home against Porto. The big blow for Atleti was the home loss to Liverpool when the visiting Reds went into a two-goal lead, but thanks to Griezmann Atleti managed to equalise by the end of the half. Until then, the great Griezmann, but in the second half he showed indiscipline and in the 52nd minute he received a red card and his team, thus, had to play the whole second half with ten players. Atleti ensured Liverpool's onslaught until the 78th minute, when the referee ordered a penalty for the Reds and Mohamed Salah converted it with ease, allowing Liverpool to turn the match around to a final 2-3. The visiting Betis are playing some handsome football this season and have some interesting names in their squad, including French winger Nabil Fekir, goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and striker Borja Iglesias, who has already scored 3 league goals and 2 Europa League goals this season. Betis are now 4th in the table ahead of Atleti and will hope to maintain their position until the end of the season and play in the dream Champions League. Betis are playing in the Europa League this season thanks to their 6th place finish from last season, and so far they are doing well in the Europa League, with equal points with Leverkusen after 3 games played, so Betis should not miss out on promotion. If Betis maintain this form, Betis fans have a lot to look forward to this season.
