Atletico, meanwhile, have attacking options in the shape of Villa, Rodriguez, Diego and Sosa. Here we go then. Both sets of players join us on the pitch for the second period. I suspect that there were some stern words said in the Atletico dressing room at the interval. Let's hope for more action in the second 45 minutes - a shot on goal would be nice! Atletico get the second half underway in Seville. No changes for either side at the interval, which is not much of a surprise. However, I suspect that both managers will consider alterations if the score remains goalless for the next 20 minutes or so. Atletico force a corner in the early stages of the second period, but Paulao is on hand to clear at the far post.
My score prediction is 2-0 Atletico Madrid. Here we go then. Both sets of players join us on the pitch for the first period. The pre-match handshakes have been undertaken and the flags have been exchanged. You just get the feeling that the first goal - if there indeed is one - could be vital this afternoon. Right, the home side get the first 45 minutes underway. Not a full house inside the stadium this evening this afternoon, but there is a wonderful atmosphere. It is also a beautiful day in Seville - perfect for a game of football. Atletico have taken control of the possession in the opening couple of minutes and force an immediate free kick when Reyes fells Juanfran.
Real Betis vs Atlético Madrid live stream, score and H2HReal Betis - Atlético Madrid Preview, Live Streaming and PredictionIn their previous matches, Real Betis won 2 games (Roma, Almería) and lost 0 while 3 games ended in draws against Real Valladolid, Roma, Cádiz. Real Betis managed to score 4 goals and conceded 5 goals (4-5). Real Betis scored an average 1. 3 goals per match in the current league season. In terms of discipline, the home team received 19 yellow cards and 4 red cards, making 10.
Costa gets himself involved once more as the Atletico forward dives into a challenge with Paulao, which brings a furious reaction from the home players and supporters alike. However, the referee takes no further action. It has been an untidy end to the first half, with few clear opportunities for either side in Seville. Opportunity for Betis to threaten from a free kick as Luis fells Molina outside the box, with the Atletico left-back picking up a booking in the process. The resulting set piece is taken by Nono, but Godin is on hand to clear the danger. Not too much from Atletico as an attacking threat in the last five minutes or so. In truth, it has been a first period short of quality, with both sides more interested in making it into a battle.
Costa is on the end of a poor challenge from Paulao, which is certainly the centre-back's revenge for an earlier incident. The referee just needs to keep a lid on proceedings in Seville. Here's a photo of the offside decision given against Diego Costa [via @casadelfutbol] pic. com/sNxtvBop6a — AS English (@English_AS) March 23, 2014 HALF TIME: Betis 0-0 Atletico So there we have it. The referee brings the first period to an end with the two sides level at 0-0.
Just a reminder to join us from 7pm this evening for live build-up of El Clasico at the Bernabeu. As it stands, Atletico would remain in second position in the table, but would move top ahead of the clash in Madrid with three points against Betis. Possession football from Atletico in the last couple of minutes. More frustration for Costa as the Atletico forward picks up a smart position in the Betis box only to be denied by Jordi. Bright work from Rodriguez forces Miranda into conceding a corner down the other end, but the set piece is played short and the move breaks down. Still goalless with 37 minutes on the clock.
As it stands, they are bottom of the table on 19 points, seven behind 19th-place Almeria and nine from Getafe, who sit just outside of the drop zone. In truth, it is going to take a minor miracle for the Seville-based side to avoid relegation to the Segunda Division. Betis, who were also knocked out by rivals Sevilla on penalties in the last-16 stage of the Europa League on Thursday, have won just four league games this season. All four of those victories have come on their own patch, but they have also lost seven times in front of their supporters – only fellow relegation candidates Rayo Vallecano have a worse home record at this stage of the season. Finding the back of the net has been a problem for Betis this season with just 23 goals in their 28 matches, which is the worst record in the league.
Atletico have had no such problems, however, with 64 strikes to their name. Down the other end, Betis have conceded 56 times – the second worst record in the league – while Atletico have conceded just 21, which is the best total at this stage of the campaign. Ahead of El Clasico this evening, Atletico know that victory at Betis would move them top of the table. It would leave them level on 70 points with Real Madrid, but Diego Simeone's side have a stronger head-to-head record. Should Barcelona win later this evening, Atletico would top the table by one point ahead of the Spain's big two with just nine games remaining.
In truth, it has been an untidy first 45 minutes of football, with both sides guilty of a number of late challenges. It would not be a surprise to see the referee bring out his card on a few more occasions in the second half. STATISTICS: Atletico have just about shaded the possession with 54%, but neither side has managed a single attempt on target, which is an indication of the first period. Atletico did find the back of the net through Costa earlier in the first period, but the goal was chalked off for offside. BENCH WATCH: Betis have already been forced into a change with Nono entering the field in place of Amaya, but they still have the likes of Vadillo, Cedrick and Castro in reserve.
Lively opening four minutes. Juan Carlos tries his luck for the home side after finding some space outside the box, but his effort was always moving into the arms of Courtois. Atletico break down the other end with Turan, but his low cross is straight into the arms of Adan. End-to-end football, but still no real clear opportunities for either side. CHANCE! Atletico's clearest opening of the match comes to Raul Garcia following a deep cross from Koke, but the midfielder's effort is deflected wide of the post by Paulao. The resulting corner also causes concern inside the Betis box, but Chica is on hand to clear.
