Atletico Madrid v Sevilla

Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Preview

Atletico Madrid picked up a fourth league win on the trot in the Spanish top flight last weekend when the third placed side inflicted a heavy 5-0 thrashing upon Real Valladolid away from home and the hosts will be keen to extend their winning streak when they return to their Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Sunday night.

Sevilla gained a point courtesy of a 1-1 draw at home with Osasuna making it four points from their last two matches in La Liga while in turn helping to lift the upcoming visitors to a more respectable looking mid-table position of 11th place in the La Liga standings.

Atletico Madrid will head into Sunday night's clash with Sevilla brimming with confidence after Diego Simeone's side have captured important victories over the likes of Las Palmas, Mallorca, Alaves and Real Valladolid respectively, and three of these four wins also saw Atletico Madrid keep clean sheets as well.

The hosts have enjoyed another solid start to this Spanish top flight season as Atletico occupy third place in the La Liga standings where they trail their city rivals Real Madrid by just a slender one-point margin, but five points behind the league leaders, Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid have suffered just one defeat so far this season while also remaining unbeaten on home soil by collecting five wins and two draws, while also keeping four clean sheets as well.

Sevilla now occupy a mid-table position in the Spanish top flight having picked up four points from their last two games which consisted of a 1-0 home win against Rayo Vallecano along with a point gained by way of the aforementioned 1-1 draw at home with seventh placed Osasuna.

The visitors produced a poor start to this season's La Liga campaign as they failed to win any of their opening four games, being involved in two draws but also slipping to two defeats as well.

Sevilla have staged a recovery of sorts in their subsequent 11 games as Garcia Pimienta's side have picked up five wins during this recent period of results which have helped Sevilla pull themselves further away from the lower regions of the La Liga table.

However, four of their five wins to date have been registered on home soil at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, while results away from home have been poor by comparison; Sevilla have managed just one win on the road to date this term while the bigger picture shows just one win in their last 10 outings on their travels.

Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Verdict

Atletico Madrid have once again made their Riyadh Air Metropolitano a veritable fortress and having kept four clean sheets at home already, a win to nil for Atletico Madrid looks to be on the cards.
