Comprehensive Analysis:
Real Betis gained momentum at the end of last month, picking up 13 points from their last 4 league games. They currently share the same points as Atlético Madrid and sit in 6th place, returning to their familiar position. The return of injured players and Antony’s resurgent form have been key to the team’s recent strong performances. Notably, in their last away match against Villarreal, Antony scored twice in the second half to help the team fight back for a hard-earned point. In the midweek Europa League, Betis made rotations again but could only manage a goalless draw away to Genk. Their overall performance was not impressive, and the players seemed to show signs of fatigue.
Atlético Madrid suffered a heavy defeat in the midweek Champions League. Conceding 3 consecutive goals after substitutions in the second half became the turning point of the game, and Diego Simeone’s tactical adjustments appeared to be the main reason for Atlético’s thrashing. Additionally, that match marked the first time Atlético was kept goalless this season, and luck was not on their side. Fortunately, the team currently has a relatively complete squad with ample room for adjustments in the midfield and attack, and they are expected to make partial rotations in this game. Atlético had major issues in defending set-pieces against Arsenal, showing a significant decline compared to their performance in the Madrid Derby last month.
Summary:
Overall, Betis has two fewer rest days than their opponents, but due to more extensive rotations in the midweek game, they should not face major fitness issues. The data only provides the most basic support for Atlético, similar to recent years. However, Betis has not lost to Atlético at home in the last two seasons, and they have picked up significantly more points at home than away this season—Atlético also shares this "strong at home, weak away" trait. Nevertheless, Atlético is likely to make adjustments after their heavy defeat and has deeper squad depth than Betis. From recent games, Betis tends to rely heavily on Antony when they struggle to break down opponents. Having just experienced a thrashing, Atlético will definitely focus on marking the Brazilian player closely tonight. Betis’ defense this season is not solid; they have conceded at least 2 goals in most matches against stronger opponents. With two fewer rest days than Atlético, they may not perform well tonight. It is advisable to back Atlético to take all 3 points away from home.
