Match Facts:
R. Betis (15th, 37 pts):
- Los Verdiblancos are looking to turn the tide. They are riding a three-game losing streak in LaLiga Santander and haven't won at home to Atletico Madrid in the league since 2006, having drawn one and lost six of the sides' last seven LaLiga meetings at the Benito Villamarin.
- Alexis Trujillo has provisionally taken the helm following the sacking of Victor Sanchez del Amo and is hopeful of sparking a reaction from his players. "We want to get a win that would help restore our confidence and self-esteem," he said ahead of the match.
Atletico Madrid (3rd, 74 pts):
- Following their Champions League disappointment in midweek, Atletico are out to make sure that they take the direct route through to the group stage of next season's competition, avoiding the playoffs. A point at the Benito Villamarin is all that they require to achieve this objective by locking down third place in LaLiga Santander.
- Saul continues to showcase his diverse skillset for Los Rojiblancos, including in front of goal. The young midfielder grabbed the winner against SD Eibar last time out with a fantastic first-time finish from outside the box, his second long-range strike in LaLiga action this term. Betis would do well to be equally wary of his aerial threat, however: eight of the 12 league goals he has chalked up in his senior Atletico career have been headers.
