Prediction: 1-1
Atletico Madrid
Real Betis and Atletico Madrid go head to head at Estadio Benito Villamarin in what is expected to be the most interesting game of Sunday’s program. Los Beticos aim to build on a nice 2-1 win over Villarreal, but they face a tough challenge against the league leaders on Matchday 2. Willian Jose is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against the Yellow Submarine, while both William Carvalho and Nabil Fekir are out of contention with injuries.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, survived Granada (2-1) in their opener, with Memphis Depay marking the match with a wonder goal. Diego Simeone’s troops aim to retain top position in the standings, but beating Manuel Pellegrini’s men in Seville is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards at “Villamarin”. Experienced midfielder Koke has joined the likes of Jose Gimenez and Reinildo Mandava in the recovery room, while aforementioned Dutch striker Depay should be recalled to the starting XI.
