Atletico Madrid vs Levante
Spain – La Liga
Date: Saturday, 20 February 2021
Kick-off at 15:15 UK/ 16:15 CET
Venue: Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid).
Real Betis and Getafe take on each other in the opening match of day 24 of the current La Liga campaign.
Los Beticos aim to build on a 2-1 win over Villarreal, and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of los Azulones. Nabil Fekir, who scored his second goal of the season at the weekend, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
The Andalusian outfit aim to keep their Europa League hopes alive, and they should take advantage of Getafe’s current form.
The capital club are on a three-game losing run in the Spanish top flight, with the team failing to find the net in the previous four league fixtures.
Since Real Betis have been showing signs of improvement of late, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Dakonam is back from suspension for the visitors.
