Real Betis vs Atalanta Top Bets and Predictions

Both teams are in the final stages of preparation for the season’s return, and both have big ambitions going forward.

Over 2.5 Goals

When it comes to Atalanta, we have already gotten used to their high-scoring games, and Betis can hold its own as we have already witnessed during the preparation period.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

Similarly to the first option, either team can score goals on any given day, and when it comes to these types of matches, it’s about taking care of the ball, creating opportunities for goals, and scoring. Both teams have terrific firepower up front, so there is a bigger chance both teams will score perhaps more than once.

Draw

There isn’t much dividing these teams, so in hope of some goals being scored, a draw might be a reasonable resolution of the game.

Real Betis vs Atalanta Preview: Chasing the Champions League

Real Betis

Betis doesn’t have the budget to spend on big-time players like many other teams who are vying for Champions League places, but a team from Seville is doing just fine in keeping the pressure on those who stand in their way. Betis is ranked sixth in La Liga after 14 matches played, and their main strength is their defense. They have the second-best defensive line in the Spanish top division which allowed only 12 goals. There is only one better team in that aspect, and it’s Villareal who conceded ten goals. Betis struggled in their last five matches before the season was stopped for the World Cup, they won only once and were disappointed that all of their hard work earlier was somewhat diminished. They took the preparation period very seriously, there was no real vacation for the players, they have been training and playing games for over a month, but recently took on some serious opposition beating Manchester United by a single goal, and drawing against Inter Milan 1-1.

Atalanta

Similarly to their opponents, Atalanta also had a bad run of results before the break. They lost four out of their last five matches and instead of continuing to keep pressure on top teams, they fell down the pecking order. They still have a realistic chance of chasing one of the four Champions League places, but they need to regain their best form very quickly. The competition for the best competition in the world is big, six teams are fighting for that privilege. The Bergamo team got almost all of their main players back, either from injuries or they returned from the World Cup. There are still a couple of injured players, Caleb Okoli and Davide Zappacosta will miss the game against Betis. Mario Pasalic will soon return to training after getting back from his World Cup duty with Croatia, and coach Gian Piero Gasperini will look to reintegrate him as soon as possible because the Serie A season will continue after the first few days of the new year. Their first opponent will be Spezia.

What is their league form look like?
