RB vs ATL Dream11: Atletico Madrid travels to Sevilla to take on Real Betis in the La Liga. Real Betis are in 6th place, level with 7th and 12 points off the top 4 spots. The Los Verdiblancos are in fine form with 5 wins from their last 7 game but their last game was a disappointing 1-1 draw against Elche. Atletico lost their top spot to Real Madrid after the El Clasico and they will need to get a result to reclaim their place on top of the table. But the Los Rojiblancos are in poor form with just 1 win from their last 4 games and their last matchday was a disappointing 1-0 loss to Sevilla.
Date: 12th April, Monday Kick-Off: 12:30 am (IST) Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarin, Sevilla

Fantasy Football Tips
Captain Options
Angel Correa – The Argentine international has 10 goal contributions (4 goals and 6 assists) all season. He has also created 30 goal scoring chances and completed 35 successful dribbles at a 57% completion rate. He will look to impress Diego Simeone and hopefully nail down a starting spot in the squad.
Joao Felix – With 11 goal contributions (7 goals and 4 assists) in 13 starts, Joao Felix has been much better this season. He has succeeded in 29 attempted dribbles at a 52% completion rate and even he has the chance to nail down a starting spot in Luis Suarez’s absence.
Differential Pick
Sergio Canales – Sergio Canales has been excellent this season with 13 goal contributions (7 goals and 6 assists) so far in just 21 starts. He has created 53 chances so far with 23 successful dribbles at an impressive completion rate of 77% and 28 accurate crosses, with an accuracy of 33%. Canales has been an important part of this Real Betis side and will look to link up with the likes of Nabil Fekir, Aitor Ruibal and Juanmi to cause some troubles on the left flank for Atletico Madrid.
Goalkeeper – Bravo Defenders – Trippier, Savic, Hermoso Midfielders – Koke, Carrasco, Fekir, Canales (VC) Forwards – Correa, Ruibal, Felix (C)
Likely Winner:
There is a lot at stake for both side in the RB vs ATL Today Match Prediction. Atletico Madrid will be desperate to get back on top of the table with 3-points while Real Betis will want to strengthen their claim for the Europa League spots. Atletico has a very tight defence, conceding the fewest goals in the league and have scored the 3rd most goals as well. The same can’t be said for Real Betis who have conceded 42 goals in the La Liga but they will take some pointers from Atleti’s game against Sevilla and will look to exploit their poor form of late.
