On Sunday evening, Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano, in a La Liga game that could be massive in Sevilla’s La Liga campaign, as Los Rojiblancos look to book a place in the Champions League for next season.
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone’s former champions have already sealed their place in the Champions League for next season. Although they are just six points ahead of fifth-place Real Betis, they have a superior goal difference to Manuel Pellegrini’s team, so they cannot be caught heading into gameweek 37 of La Liga.
Back-to-back wins over arch-rivals Real Madrid and struggling Elche have been enough for the men from Madrid to seal their place in next season’s Champions League, despite an underwhelming league campaign.
Atletico has a decent recent home record in the Spanish top-flight, as they are unbeaten in six league matches, having recorded five wins in the process. Atletico has also scored at least two goals in seven of their last ten home matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Sevilla
Having seen their early-season title challenge fail in La Liga, Julen Lopetegui’s team's main priority is to secure Champions League football for a second straight season. The Andalusians finished fourth-place in the table last season, which is the position the visitors currently occupy in the table. They need just another point to book their place in European football’s elite competition for next season.
Sevilla’s form has slipped of late, as they have won just two of their last ten matches in La Liga. However, they are unbeaten courtesy of a run consisting of one win and three straight draws. They have been the draw specialists of the Spanish top-flight this season, drawing an incredible 15 games, which is the most draws of any team in La Liga in the current campaign.
What does Forebet predict?
There is very little between these two teams in terms of points at the moment. Forebet predicts that this clash will end in yet another draw for Atletico, which would be enough for Sevilla to book their place in next season’s Champions League.
