The Spanish football teams Atletico Madrid and Betis are going to meet on the 17th of January at the Spanish Copa del Rey. Judging by the latest performances of each team, this shouldn’t be a difficult prediction.
The last confrontation between Atletico and Betis took place last year, on the 26th of September, when Atletico Madrid defeated their opponents with a score of 4-2. In that match, the “heroes” of Madrid were Radamel Falcao, who scored the first two goals of the match in the 28th and 48th minutes, Diego Costa who added the third in the 55th minute and Raúl García who scored the fourth goal in 93rd minute.
Even if Atletico Madrid is the clear favorite at winning this match, Betis’s performances are not to be neglected either. In the last five matches, Betis has 4 victories and only one lost match in front of Mallorca. Moreover, on the 29th of April 2012 Betis managed a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid and on the 18th of December 2011, they even defeated Atletico with 2-0. However, these results were achieved a long time ago and things have changed significantly since then for the two teams.
All in all, I am going to place a bet on Atletico Madrid’s victory. I bet 10 units at 1.36. The odds I used are from Bet365.
