Atletico vs Betis prediction and betting tips on May 18 2025
Game Prediction
In the 37th round of the Spanish La Liga, a match between Atletico and Betis will take place on May 18, 2025. The guests from Seville are currently focused on the Conference League final but also have objectives in the domestic league.
Our Prediction for Atletico vs Betis
The capital giants avoided disaster last season but at the same time only finished fourth, below the surprise package Girona. This likely prompted a major squad overhaul in Madrid. Last season was not particularly successful for their opponents from Seville either—Betis managed to finish in seventh, barely edging out Villarreal.
This time, they are again battling with the same rival, but now the fifth spot is at stake—and with it, a chance to return to the Champions League. Naturally, the draw with Osasuna was a setback. They also split points with Rayo Vallecano, finishing 2-2. At the same time, Pellegrini steered Betis into the Conference League final, overcoming Fiorentina in extra time in the semis. For a long time, Atletico were nearly contenders for the "treble", but lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League after a controversial penalty shootout, and to Barcelona in the cup semifinal. Moreover, they fell behind both sides in La Liga as well, and in spring, essentially gave up on domestic competition. That didn’t stop them from thrashing Real Sociedad. However, they lost 0-2 to Osasuna in the last round.
Alvarez, alongside his new teammates, averages 1.67 goals per match, conceding half as much—0.81. Antony and company are currently scoring 1.5 goals per game, while conceding 1.25.
