Athletico Madrid
The "Mattress Makers" have failed to impress in the championship, occupying the fourth position in the league table. The title race is out of the question; the main objective is to maintain their position in the top quartet, with a mere three-point lead over fifth place. Recently, Athletico suffered a resounding elimination from the Copa del Rey, losing to Athletic Bilbao 0-1 at home and 0-3 away, falling just short of the final. In the last round, Diego Simeone's men managed only a 2-2 draw against the hopeless underdogs, Almeria. They still have the Champions League, having lost the first leg of the playoff against Inter Milan 0-1 away; now they must make amends at home.
Real Betis
The "Green and Whites" have had an inconsistent season, disappointing in European competitions. They first failed to advance from the Europa League group stage, finishing third, and were then swiftly eliminated from the Conference League playoffs. Betis currently sits sixth in the league, seemingly unable to climb higher, trailing seventh place by 7 points, risking losing their position. In the last round, the team managed to defeat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at home, extending their unbeaten streak in the league to five matches.
