There will be a high-quality fixture in La Liga to look ahead to this weekend, as Atletico Madrid look to continue their excellent run of form when they travel to Sevilla. The home side have gone two without defeat to move clear of the relegation places.
La Liga Preview
The interesting battles at both ends of the La Liga standings continue this weekend, as Atletico Madrid bid to enhance their Champions League prospects with a 16th victory of the season. The Spanish side come into the round in strong form after winning three of their last four matches, but they currently sit just three clear of Athletic Bilbao.
However, a victory for Atletico this weekend could see them end the round as high as third and potentially within seven points of the top of the standings. Atletico will take confidence from their previous outing in the league, as they showed great character to land a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid. Their equalising effort was netted in the 93rd minute by Marco Llorente.
There is still slight pressure on Sevilla coming into this latest round of matches, as their top-flight status is still far from assured. Their chances of survival have been aided after going two without a defeat, which means that they are now three clear of the bottom three. However, they have still lost eleven games this term, which is the third most in the competition.
Sevilla finally recorded a much-needed victory in their most recent fixture, as they battled to a 2-1 win on the road against Rayo Vallecano. Both of their efforts in that success were netted by Youssef En-Nesyri, but it could be argued that the win was against the balance of the game.
Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Head to Head
Atletico have dominated the previous clashes against Sevilla, winning each of the last two and four of the previous five. That includes a 2-0 success in this exact fixture last term. The Spanish visitors have also beaten Sevilla on two occasions since the start of December.
Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Victories in this fixture have been hard to come by for Sevilla, as they haven’t beaten Atletico since December 2021. The visitors come into this match in better form, and that could be the angle worth siding with when making a selection on Sunday.
