La Liga Odds: Almeria +1.5 -134 vs Real Madrid -1.5 +106

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid

La Liga Odds: Real Betis +275 vs Atletico Madrid +104
Sunday, August 20 at 3:30 pm ET
Benito Villamarín, Sevilla, Spain

For sure, Betis impressed in their first match. The home dog in this game beat Villarreal 2-1 even though Villarreal dominated time of possession and the match happened on Villarreal’s pitch.

Atletico, though, easily won their first LaLiga Primera Division match. The road chalk took down Granada 3-1. Atletico scored all three goals in the second half.

Alvaro Morata, Memphis Depay, and Marco Llorente got the goals. Depay’s goal, where he shot from distance and landed it perfectly in the upper right corner of the net, was tremendous. Atletico wins.
