There's something special brewing in Seville this Tuesday night as Real Betis welcome Atletico Madrid to the Estadio de La Cartuja for a pivotal Matchday 10 encounter. Both sides are level on 16 points, sitting fifth and sixth, respectively, and while it's still early in the season, this feels like a match that could shape their European hopes.
For Atletico Madrid, the timing couldn't be trickier. Just days ago, they were humbled 4-0 by Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, as reported by Softfootball . Diego Simeone's men looked lost that night, and the coach will expect a fiery response in Seville.
Julian Alvarez, who's been sensational with eight goals and three assists, could be key once again. As reported by Softfootball, Pep Guardiola recently spoke about the Argentine forward, saying that Alvarez deserved to play more , and he's surely proving that now.
