Correct score prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-2 Real Betis
Atletico Madrid head into this game with nothing to play for, but Diego Simeone has continued to pick strong lineups, and their home record suggests they are very unlikely to just roll over here.
Betis are still scoring plenty and offering a real attacking threat with the likes of Isco and Antony. However, they do make some defensive errors and this could end in a score draw.
