Sports Mole previews the La Liga clash between Atletico Madrid and Real Betis.

Atletico Madrid host Real Betis on Sunday night as they look to respond to last weekend's emphatic defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Madrid struggled without the services of their star player Radamel Falcao but they will be confident of recording a victory over Real Betis after they recently knocked them out of the Copa del Rey.

Madrid won their home leg against Betis 2-0 and they will be favourites to dispatch a side that have up to half a dozen players missing through injury.

Betis are also without a victory in four matches and they were comfortably beaten 3-0 by league rivals Rayo Vallecano last week.
