Betis vs Atletico Madrid Prediction for 28 October 2025 - Football

🔈 What will be the outcome of one of the most intriguing and captivating clashes of La Liga's Matchday 10? The "Benito Villamarín" will host the showdown between Real Betis and Atlético Madrid this coming Monday evening. Both clubs are among the main contenders for European competition spots, so fans can definitely expect maximum effort from the players on both sides. Despite the home-field advantage, bookmakers anticipate an edge for the "Colchoneros" and have them as the favorites for this match.

Head-to-Head

📊 Atletico Madrid have historically been a tough opponent for Real Betis, with the "Heliopolitans" securing victory only twice in their last 25 head-to-head encounters. Interestingly, one of these wins came last season when the Seville side triumphed 1-0 at the "Benito Villamarin." An own goal by Jose Gimenez in the 4th minute decided the outcome of that clash. Over the last 10 meetings, the average goals scored per match are 0.6 for Betis and 1.8 for Atletico.

Real Betis Team Overview

🟢 Real Betis have been unbeaten across all competitions for the past two months, stringing together eight consecutive matches with satisfactory outcomes. After nine rounds in La Liga, the Seville-based club have accumulated 16 points and currently sit in 6th place in the standings. On home turf, the Verdiblancos have been quite convincing, securing 9 points from 4 matches. Let's highlight Betis's scoring stats: they average 1.67 goals per game while conceding around 1.11. In the upcoming round, Manuel Pellegrini will need to fully showcase his managerial prowess to steer the team closer to success.

⚪ Betis are also competing in the Europa League and played their third group stage match midweek. The away trip to Genk for a clash with the local team ended in a goalless draw, as the Heliopolitans struggled to maintain possession and build-up play, despite their efforts to dominate the opposition's half. The midfielders were particularly disappointing, failing to provide the crucial ball control and forward momentum needed. Betis now have 5 points from 3 Europa League matches, which puts them in 16th place in the group standings.

Atletico Madrid Team Overview

🔴 The "Colchoneros" are gradually finding their footing, not only starting to showcase elite-level football but also securing the results they need. The outcome of the "capital derby," where Atletico Madrid achieved a sensational 5-2 victory, is further proof of this. After nine rounds in the national championship, the Madrid club has accumulated 16 points and sits in an interim 5th place in the standings. However, the "Rojiblancos" struggle with away game performance, having earned just 3 points from 4 matches on the road. This season, Atletico have conceded a staggering 23 goals—only Eintracht Frankfurt in the top five leagues have allowed more, with 24.

⚪ Despite Atletico managing to establish some stability in their domestic league performances, their results in European competitions remain questionable. During midweek action, the "Colchoneros" were powerless against Arsenal in London (0-4) at the Emirates. Diego Simeone's side failed to maintain compactness across their lines, and the first goal conceded in the second half dealt a significant psychological blow to the Spanish players. The xG figures underscore the Gunners' deserved victory: 2.2 against 0.67. After three rounds of the Champions League, the "Rojiblancos" have only 3 points and find themselves in an interim 19th position in the standings.

Latest news

Real Betis

📰 Despite the goalless draw against Genk, which offered little joy for the Spanish club's fans, Betis' defensive line was impressive. The Belgian side's total xG was just 0.23. Here's what Betis captain Marc Bartra had to say after the match: “With Natan, Diego Llorente, and Valentin, I feel comfortable when we communicate with each other, and I feel secure. This is crucial for growing together and forming a solid defense at the back, which greatly aids those up front in being more creative. May Betis keep winning, which is what we all desire.” Words of a true captain striving for stability and mutual understanding.

❌ In Betis' injury list, only Spanish midfielder Isco is sidelined with a leg fracture. It has also been revealed that Nelson Deossa played the recent Europa League match with conjunctivitis. Whether he will feature in the upcoming clash remains uncertain.

Atletico Madrid

🎤 Atletico's recent European setback was addressed by head coach Diego Simeone: "It's a process of improvement. We just need to keep it going. I think we started very well. From the 60th minute, the opponent was stronger and deserved the win. Now we need to move on from this and focus in training on what we did right, while making necessary adjustments."

📰 Atletico have yet to celebrate an away victory this season across all competitions. Club leader Koke shared his thoughts following another away defeat to Arsenal (0-4): "What's missing in away games? I don't know. Wins. We're trying. The team tried today, but the small details didn't work out, and it's those details we need to focus on. I don't know if it's luck or not, but we're lacking it away from home. I don't know if it's luck or belief in victory. We have players capable of doing it. Until the goal, the team played well, having a good match. It just wasn't meant to be. It's a tough day."

❌ In Atletico Madrid's injury list is Johnny Cardoso, the former Real Betis player, who is continuing his recovery from an ankle injury. It's worth noting that the American midfielder has returned to training with the team, but he is still not 100% ready for official matches.

🟨 Yellow Card Prediction

🟨 Yellow Card Prediction

This season, matches involving both teams have been characterized by a high number of cautions: Betis average 4.6, while Atletico see 5.6. Their head-to-head clashes are no exception, averaging 5.3 per game. It's crucial to consider their standings in the league table for this encounter, as both Betis and Atletico are neighbors fiercely competing for a Champions League spot, which will heighten the intensity. Our pick is total yellow cards over 3.5.

⚽ Goal Prediction

As mentioned earlier, Atletico's defense has been far from solid this season, making them one of the most conceding teams among the top five leagues. In 7 of their last 9 matches, both teams have found the net. Additionally, Diego Simeone's side has struggled on the road. We suggest considering this betting option – both teams to score (yes).

🚩 Corner Prediction

This season, Betis concede a significant number of corners, around 5.8 per game. In contrast, Atletico allow their opponents just 2.9 corners per match. In head-to-head encounters, the Madrid club also holds a clear advantage in corner kicks: 6.7 compared to 3.7. We recommend the following bet – Atletico's individual total corners over 4.5.

The "Heliopolitans" are known for their highly effective home performances, often causing trouble for even the biggest teams at "Benito Villamarín." On the other hand, the "Colchoneros" struggle in away matches, having yet to secure a victory this season on the road. Sevilla's club benefits from an eight-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, which plays in their favor. We believe Manuel Pellegrini and his squad will not only challenge the visitors but also take points from them. We predict a final score of 1-1. Key pick – Betis will not lose.
