It is raining hard on the Spanish capital at the end of the afternoon. The lawn is seriously starting to become waterlogged and a puddle has formed in the Andalusian camp.
GOAL AGAINST HIS PEZZELLA CAMP FOR ATLETICO! (63rd)

Atletico Madrid logically leads 1-0 on their turf against Betis Sevilla after a one-sided first period.

For the first time this season, Nabil Fekir is not aligned in the starting 11 of Manuel Pellegrini who has chosen to spare his tricolor playmaker. The former Bordeaux and Nantes, Youssouf Sabaly, is unavailable for this meeting just like Hector Bellerin loaned to Betis by Arsenal. Sergio Canales will occupy the position of number 10 in support of striker Willian José. The wings will be animated by Rodri and Juanmi.
The Colchoneros are deprived of Thomas Lemar and Marcos Llorente both affected in the thigh. Geoffrey Kondogbia is also unavailable. Antoine Griezmann, author of great performances on his last outings, is well established alongside Luis Suarez.
For their part, Manuel Pellegrini’s men are running at full speed. The Andalusians remain on three consecutive victories in La Liga including a card this week against Valencia (4-1). 4th in Liga, Nabil Fekir’s teammates have the possibility of temporarily joining the top three in the standings in the event of success. However, the Beticos remain on 7 defeats and a draw in the last 8 trips on the field of Atletico.
The Colchoneros remain on two consecutive draws in La Liga against Real Sociedad and then on the lawn of Levante, 2-2 each time. Diego Simeone’s men are in 6th place in La Liga, two lengths from their opponent of the day.
