Atletico Madrid v Sevilla

Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Preview

Second placed Atletico Madrid will play host to bottom of the table outfit, Sevillla, on Sunday evening at their Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten start to this new La Liga campaign to four games, while Sevilla are still without a point to their name and the visitors will want to get off the mark as soon as possible.

Atletico Madrid by contrast have picked up seven points from their opening three games of this new Spanish top flight season by virtue of picking up wins against Granada 3-1 and a comprehensive dismantling of Rayo Vallecano with a 7-0 thrashing away from home last time out.

In between, the Madrid club were held to a 0-0 draw away from home at Real Betis but they now return to their Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano for this upcoming clash against Sevilla in confident mood, especially as the hosts have lost just twice in their last 25 matches overall in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid have also won their last 10 home games on the trot which should see the hosts in high spirits here while the goals market also looks appealing as six of these 10 games have also produced goals for both teams.

Sevilla have produced a disappointing start to their new La Liga campaign as the visitors have not only failed to win any of their opening three games but they have slipped to defeats in each of these games which has resulted in them being in early trouble at the foot of the La Liga table.

Defeats to Valencia 2-1 at home, a 4-3 loss on the road at Alaves and another loss on home soil at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán to Girona 2-1 is not the kind of start that Sevilla manager, Jose Luis Mendilibar would have envisaged before this new La Liga season began.

However, Sevilla have picked up where they left off at the end of last season as they had ended the previous campaign with back-to-back losses to Real Madrid and Real Sociedad but again, the goals market seems an attractive proposition here as each of Sevilla's last six games on the trot have produced goals for both teams.

There is a glimmer of hope for a result here for Sevilla though as the visitors have lost just two of their last seven outings on the road in the Spanish top flight.

Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Verdict

Atletico Madrid have made a solid start to this new La Liga season having won two of their three games so far and as such, the hosts are priced too low for the straight win but the goals market looks a decent option for this clash.

Indeed, four of the last five meetings have seen both teams score.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 1.95
