In what has been a hugely disappointing season, Sevilla sit above the bottom three by just three points following their win at Rayo Vallecano on Monday. The club, who have a great European pedigree, have struggled mightily, and face a tough battle to even stay in the division they have been playing in since 1999. This is a game they must not lose, as they will not want to fall behind the sides above them. However, it will be no easy task, as they face a team who is fighting at the top end of the table.

Atletico are not an immediate threat for the La Liga title, but have their sights set on a top-four finish. Fourth is the place they currently occupy, but they have Athletic Bilbao just three points behind them, following their last-gasp draw at Real Madrid at the weekend. Barcelona in third are also within touching distance, with two points separating the pair.

Typically viewed as a defensive side, especially under Diego Simeone, Atletico have conceded 25 goals this season, a tally bettered by only four teams. But they have been just as good going forward, with the duo of Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann combining for 24 of their 45 goals. They should have no trouble creating chances against a bottom-five defensive team.

Whilst Sevilla struggle at the back, they also have some issues putting the ball in the back of the net. Their top scorer is Youssef En-Nesyri, but he has scored just seven times. Lucas Ocampos is the only other player to net more than twice.

This will be the third meeting between Sevilla and Atletico Madrid this season. The first was a league fixture in which Madrid were 1-0 winners. Marcos Llorente was the scorer just a minute into the second half.

They repeated this scoreline in late January, this time in the Copa Del Rey, booking their place in the semi-finals of the competition. Memphis Depay’s strike proved the difference.

These two results made it four wins in a row for Los Colchoneros, as they did the double over their opponents last season. This includes a thumping 6-1 win in March. Depay and Morata bagged a brace each, with Griezmann and Yannick Carrasco completing the scoring.

Atletico Madrid

Cesar Azpilicueta, Thomas Lemar and Marcos Paulo are all out long-term. Jose Gimenez should return at the end of the month.

Sevilla

Sergio Ramos returns from a one-game suspension. Kike Salas and Nemanja Gudelj are out until the end of the month, whilst Erik Lamela and Mariano are short-term absentees.

Sevilla

In their last six games, Sevilla have won three, lost two and drawn one. They have been through a very disastrous season so far, in 17th, and their mixed results in this stretch of games highlights the inconsistencies they have experienced.

Their most recent game was a 1-1 draw at home to 11th-place Osasuna. They had taken the lead through Isaac Romero before Ante Budemir levelled the score. Suso saw red with four minutes to go, but fortunately for the hosts, their opponents failed to capitalise.

Sevilla made it to the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey with a 3-1 win at Getafe. Sergio Ramos put them in front, though Jamie Mata equalised 15 minutes later. Romero then scored a brace to put them out of sight. This set up a meeting with this weekend’s opponents, but their cup journey was cut short as Atletico won 1-0 thanks to a late Depay winner.

Between these two ties was a crushing 5-1 defeat at the hands of second-place Girona. Romero had actually given his side an early lead, but that was quickly wiped out with three goals in six minutes to put the hosts 3-1 up after 20. Two more goals were added in the second half. This marked their second defeat in a row as this followed a heartbreaking 90th-minute loss to Alaves.

Sevilla managed a crucial 2-1 win at Rayo Vallecano on Monday night as Youssef En-Nesyri scored a brace and in the process, became the all-time top-scoring Moroccon in La Liga history with 60 goals, overtaking Larbi Benbarek.

Atletico Madrid

In their last five games, Atletico Madrid have won four and drawn one. Though the title may be too far out of reach, Atletico’s recent form has given them the opportunity to at least put some pressure on the top two of Real Madrid and Girona.

They began this stretch of games with a narrow 1-0 victory away at Granada, a second-half goal from Alvaro Morata proving the difference. Their success continued into the Copa Del Rey, with another 1-0 result, this time against Sevilla. Memphis Depay’s strike booked his side’s place in the semi-finals where they will face Athletic Bilbao.

A return to league action followed, and they kept another clean sheet as they won 2-0 against Valencia. Samuel Lino and Depay were on the scoresheet. The Dutchman scored his third goal in as many matches in another win against Rayo Vallecano. He netted the winner after Alvaro Garcia Rivera cancelled out Reinildo Mandava’s equaliser.

The most recent outing came against their city rivals Real Madrid, in what was their fourth meeting of the season. They rescued a point late on thanks to Marcos Llorente’s 93rd-minute goal. Brahim Diaz opened the scoring in the 20th minute.

Sevilla have had a terrible season and it does not get any easier as Atletico Madrid visit. Madrid are fighting to consolidate their position in the top four and we expect them to do so – Sevilla 1-3 Atletico Madrid
