Atlético have dominated their last duels against Betis without the ball
ANDl Atlético returns to Seville a week later and he does it with the same need to add the three points as last weekend. Despite the casualties that the rojiblancos will present tomorrow against the Betis, the numbers from the last few years should bring you some optimism. The Sevillians are not a rival who does nothing bad to those of Simeone. Since the Argentine coach took over the club, they have met sixteen times, with a balance of: 12 wins, 3 draws and only one loss.
It was precisely the Betis Gregorio’s last league rival Apple tree in front of Atlético. A few weeks later, Diego Pablo Simeone would take over the team. Since then, the Verdiblancos have had an enemy of care in the Argentine. Just one loss with a lone goal from Penalty Channels two seasons ago. The rest of the confrontations were almost always expensive for the colchoneros. It is now up to the rojiblancos to maintain the streak of the last three matches (three victories) if they want to continue sleeping peacefully if they can sleep peacefully at this point in the course.
In recent years, the game script between the two has been quite similar. Betis’s commitment to technicians who wanted to control the ball made them have control of the ball in many phases of the matches against those of Simeone. A domain that was almost always resolved without a prize due to the effectiveness of the mattresses. An Atlético, who has lived comfortable with that role in these clashes. Andalusian possession domain, Madrid domain of results. The movie didn’t change much this year. The match of the first round was resolved by two goals to nil in favor of the rojiblancos and a 60% possession for the Betis. For sure, any rojiblanco fan would sign a similar result tomorrow. Three points and leave possession in green and white lands.
It is true that the Athletic he has lived his best moments of the season being dominator of the games and that it is taking him more to control them when he does not have the ball. Therefore, the role they can play is fundamental Koke, Herrera and Lemar in order to maintain the athletic dominance over the Verdiblancos. The numbers say that Betis is not a bad rival to start the defense of the leadership.
