Atletico Madrid and Real Betis will go head-to-head in the La Liga matchday 12 at the Wanda Matropolitano on Sunday. The kick-off is at 17:15 CEST.

Preview

Despite a rahter strong start to their title-defending campaign, it all has gone wrong for Atletico in their Champions League group stage clash with Liverpool on October 19 when Diego Simeone's men lost 3-2 mainly due to Antoine Griezmann's not-so-obvious sending-off. The reigning La Liga champions have followed that bitter loss with back-to-back 2-2 draws against Real Sociedad and most recently Levante in the Spanish top flight to extend their streak without a win in all competitions to three matches.

Betis, for their part, remain unbeaten in four games in all competitions on the bounce ahead of their trip to the Spanish capital, including a 4-1 thrashing of Valencia on Wednesday. Recent heroics of Manuel Pellegrini's side have seen them moving into the fourth place in the La Liga table with 21 points, two points ahead of Atleti.

Team news

Geoffrey Kondogbia, Marcos Llorente and Thomas Lemar are all unavailable for the hosts through injury while Betis' Youssouf Sabaly and Victor Camarasa remain on the sidelines too.

Prediction

Even though Atletico are placed as the hot favourites to claim all three points in this one, we wouldn't be so sure about their chances against Betis. Pellegrini's crop are enjoying all but a perfect start to the current campaign and we do believe that they have everything to extend their unbeaten run to five matches on Sunday. A battling draw could work out for both sides this time around, especially after they registered a 1-1 stalemate in their previous head-to-head meeting in April.
