Trending
Betis failed to pick up successive wins for the first time since November, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Inter Milan on Saturday.
That followed a slender 1-0 victory over Manchester United on December 10, which snapped their four-game losing streak. Betis are sixth in the La Liga standings, after picking up 24 points from 14 games.
Meanwhile, Atalanta returned to winning ways in style, as they brushed aside OGC Nice 3-0 on Friday.
Before that, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were on a four-game losing streak, including three straight Serie A defeats. However, Atalanta head into the weekend unbeaten in all but one of their eight away games this season and will look to maintain their fine run.
