Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Preview
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid will take on Sevilla in a match that will be highly anticipated worldwide purely because of the adrenaline rush it delivers to the supporters watching.
Atletico, playing at home, knows these conditions well and will be in a prime position to test their opponents.
The Rojiblancos are currently ranked third in La Liga with 32 points, just one below their arch-rivals and cross-town opponents Real Madrid. Atletico’s aim is to win the title this season and please their legion of supporters, but it won’t be easy to accomplish this.

Against Sevilla, Atletico have to be on their toes at all times when it comes to defence, and they cannot afford to let loose on any occasion. Manager Diego Simeone likes to play in a 4-4-2 formation with two strikers up front, and this will be tested to the core against Sevilla’s defensive lines.
However, Atletico know when to change the tempo of the game and force changes in order to get onto the scoresheet.
Sevilla
Sevilla have not been in the best of forms this season, and as a a result, are ranked in the eleventh spot of the league table with 19 points to their name. Their fans will expect them to end up in the top six at the very least in order to qualify for European competitions next season.
So far, they have not been able to play at their best, and one can only hope that the added pressure of playing against Atletico Madrid away from home brings that out in them.

Los Nervionenses have won just two out of their last five matches and will desperately want to pick up all three points in this match against Atletico.
Sevilla like to play an attacking brand of football in which they line up in a 4-3-3 formation. Right-winger Lukebakio, who has got on the scoresheet on six occasions already this season, is a player to watch out for.

- Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Sevilla
Atletico Madrid have an overwhelming advantage over their opponents Sevilla in this game, and we expect them to win comfortably. Their attackers are known to run free whenever they get even an inch of space in their opponents’ half, and the same can be expected in this game as well.

Nahuel Molina and Thomas Lemar’s injuries may hamper them a bit, but manager Simeone is known for rotating his squads well, and good replacements can pop up to make up for the aforementioned players’ absences.
Having won their last five matches, Atletico have good form going their way and a Sevilla defence that has conceded four goals in their last five matches will not be able to stop them in any way whatsoever.
Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Atletico Madrid to win or draw
- Odds: 1.10 (22Bet)
Atletico Madrid’s chances in this game will be boosted by the fact that they have scored 16 goals in their last five matches and will hope to score even more against Sevilla’s battle-weary defence. The visiting side have the likes of Ejuke and Nianzou injured, and this will add to their worries.
We expect Atletico Madrid to either win or draw this game since they are going to be clearly the better side on offer and will not face too much of a challenge from the visitors.
Sevilla know that they are going through a rut of sorts, and will be doing their best to come out of it as soon as possible. However, it will not be easy for them to do so against Atletico, whom they have already lost to on 12 occasions in recorded La Liga history out of 28 matches.
