Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla
On Sunday evening in La Liga, Atletico Madrid will host Sevilla at Wanda Metropolitano, with the visitors still fighting for a place in the top four.
A place in the Champions League is certain for Atletico Madrid ahead of their last two games. However, Sevilla must work hard to qualify for next season’s competition.
Team News
Atletico Madrid
- Thomas Lemar and Joao Felix are set to be out due to injury, although Marcos Llorente will return after serving a ban.
- Sime Vrsaljko is also a huge question after being replaced early in the game against Elche, and Llorente is expected to replace him in the starting XI, with Angel Correa and Luis Suarez vying for attacking berths.
- Cunha’s goal against Elche may see him keep his place alongside Antoine Griezmann, while De Paul is anticipated to return to central midfield.
Sevilla
- Karim Rekik, Fernando, and Suso will be out for Sevilla due to injury, although the visitors did not suffer any new problems against Mallorca.
- However, head coach Lopetegui is set to make changes, with Anthony Martial, Thomas Delaney, and Lucas Ocampos all competing for starts.
- With Lopetegui expected to change his pack following the dismal performance against Mallorca, Martial might play in the middle for the visitors, while Delaney could play with Ivan Rakitic and Joan Jordan in the midfield.
Prediction Analysis
Sevilla simply needs a point on Sunday to clinch a top-four position, and we anticipate the visitors to get the result they need. Lopetegui’s team has only lost three times on the road all season, with nine points shared, and we’re betting on a low-scoring draw here.
Our prediction is Atletico Madrid 1-1 Sevilla
