As we mentioned above, although Atletico did manage to win last weekend, the defeat to Santander prior to that was both unexpected as it was shocking. Shocking for the players, shocking for the management, but more importantly, shocking for the fans. A team that graced the Champions League this season, with aspirations of qualifying next season should not be losing games 5-1, especially to teams that were at the time fifteen points behind them in the league.

Nevertheless, whether this result was a complete fluke, or something more sinister, only time will tell, but one thing is for sure and that is with only five games left of the La Liga season, it is going to take a Herculean effort to claw back the four points deficit that separates them in sixth and Valencia in fourth position.

For their part, Real Betis come into this game in fourteenth position with 37 points. The worry for them though is the fact that they are only four points clear of the relegation zone. They suffered a 2-0 reversal at Espanyol last weekend so will be looking for a good result against Atletico to ally any relegation fears.
