Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Sevilla is not an easy place to play at and Sevilla got the best of Atletico just a few weeks back in the Copa del Rey. But this is a different competition, and Atleti have real motivation to win and continue to put as much pressure as possible upon Barcelona.

Correct Score Prediction: Sevilla 1-2 Atletico Madrid

Team News

Vincenzo Montella will be missing center back Simon Kjaer and right back Sebastian Corchia due to injuries. Midfielder Franco Vasquez is also set to miss out due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Key Man

Sevilla, despite the 0-0 scoreline, were great in midweek against Manchester United and should be happy to go to Old Trafford knowing a goal or two could send them through. But they need to brush up a little on their finishing, and that could be a reason for them to turn to Wissam Ben Yedder. Luis Muriel didn't look very assured in front of goal, and the Frenchman could be just the trick to help them out in this affair after scoring last weekend in the win over Las Palmas.

Team Form

Sevilla have a draw, three wins, and a loss in their last five matches:

0-0 home draw vs Manchester United (UCL)
1-2 win at Las Palmas
1-0 home win vs Girona
2-0 home win vs Leganes (Copa del Rey)
5-1 loss at Eibar

Sevilla Predicted Starting line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Team News

Diego Simeone is dealing with an injury to center back Stevan Savic at the moment, but other than that they are very healthy at the moment heading into what could be a title-deciding match in Seville. Look for some heavy rotation after they played a lot of the second string against Copenhagen on Thursday with the tie all but locked up.

Key Man

Atletico's current front line will always strike fear into the hearts and minds of the opposition, but a fresh duo up front will be even more challenging for Sevilla to face here. And that's what they are going to get with both Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa 100% fit to go here. The former, the Frenchman, assisted for the first goal last weekend and scored a goal in the loss to Sevilla back in January in the second leg. Look for both of them to be big factors here.

Team Form

Atletico Madrid have fives wins from their last five matches:

1-0 home win vs Copenhagen (UEL)
2-0 home win vs Athletic Bilbao
1-4 win at Copenhagen (UEL)
0-1 win at Malaga
1-0 home win vs Valencia

Atletico Madrid Predicted Starting line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Two sides that make up part of the anti-establishment in Spanish football that will meet. And the two leaders of that movement find themselves in an interesting situation for this one. Both come off of a European excursion during the week, but it can be argued that the away side will be much the fresher. As a result, it should be them having a good chance to get three points.

Atletico have won four straight Liga matches.
