Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Betting Tips
Only four days after this game, Atletico Madrid are playing Liverpool at the Anfield in the second leg of the 1/8-final of the Champions League. Atleti have a 1:0 advantage from the first leg, but the game with the reigning continental champion is not going to be easy. Knowing the importance of that game, the minds of Atletico Madrid players are probably in England. The trouble is that they have a very tough game to play this weekend in Spanish La Liga.
Atleti are playing Sevilla, the team that’s currently in the 3rd place, two places above Atletico Madrid. The point difference between the two is only 2 points in Sevilla’s favor, meaning that with a win, Atletico can get up at least one place.
The trouble is not just that Atletico Madrid is thinking about the game with Liverpool next week. Another reason is that Sevilla is a pretty good team, which has been playing very well lately. This team has won their previous two La Liga matches, including the one against Getafe, the team that’s above Atletico Madrid one position.
Sevilla’s success in La Liga comes from their amazing form in the attack. This team has scored a total of 37 goals in 26 rounds. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has scored only 29 goals so far. However, Atleti have been playing very well defensively. In fact, with 19 goals conceded, they’re the second-best defensive side in La Liga.
Atletico Madrid players have been very good at home, with only 1 defeat this season. The problem is that Sevilla has been fantastic in away matches. In fact, only Real Madrid has collected more points on the road than Sevilla this season.
For all these reasons, the Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla game is guaranteed to be an exciting clash. The most probable outcome of this match seems a draw, although anything can happen in games like these.

Atletico Madrid Form and Latest News
Their recent form in La Liga is pretty decent, but what’s worrying them more than the Spanish league is the Champions League. This is the reason why Atleti might not play with their best eleven against Sevilla. Their manager Simeone might not be willing to risk his team’s Champions League future for this game.
Still, Atleti would love to get a win here or at least a draw, which is why they will probably go with a more conservative strategy. Protecting their goal is going to be the main focus of this game.
Sevilla Form and Latest News
Sevilla’s first-choice goalie Vaclik is back and will probably be between the posts in this game. He’s the only player in this squad who is struggling with fitness. All the others are fit and ready to take on their nemesis.
