Atletico Madrid are coming off a draw in their last match but managed to keep their undefeated streak alive. They only need a few more points in order to mathematically book a ticket to the Champions League next season. They will now return home, where they will play host to Betis on Saturday, who are coming off a nice win.

Atletico Madrid (16-4-15) played a really balanced match on the road against Celta, taking an early lead but splitting the points in a 1-1 draw. They are now undefeated in their last eight matches in all competitions (5-0-3), keeping four clean sheets in the process. Atletico Madrid are still sitting 3rd in the La Liga with 63 points, three ahead of Sevilla and six ahead of Villarreal. They have been really hard to beat at home (11-1-5), going undefeated since September when they fell against Barcelona.

Betis (10-14-11) are coming off a somewhat comfortable 0-3 home win over Osasuna. They took an early lead and had total control over that match. They have not been in good form after the restart, as this was just their second win in eight matches ever since (2-4-2). Betis are sitting at the 13th spot of the league table with 41 points, with a safe, 12-point distance above the red line. They have been rather weak on the road so far (1-9-7), scoring just 14 goals in the process.

Atletico Madrid won by 2-1 on the road in the reverse fixture, while the two teams exchanged home wins last season. Atletico Madrid have been excellent as hosts against Betis lately, going undefeated in their last seven matches (7-0-1). Seven of those matches featured two goals or less and I am tempted by the Under 2.5 Goals here.
