Sevilla Vs Atletico Madrid: Match Preview
Despite a poor start with a shock defeat at home to newly-promoted side Almeria, and a consecutive two defeats to Barcelona and Manchester City at home, things have began to turn around for Sevilla. Diego Simeone should expect a tough game going into this match.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid’s frontline led by Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata, including clause-bound Antoine Griezmann has been far from their best this season.
Joao Felix is yet to find the back of the net this season, while Alvaro Morata has not scored in his last four matches for the Diego Simeone side.
Antoine Griezmann has been reduced to cameo appearances off the bench due to a crippling clause in his contract from Barcelona that has prevented him from making a full appearance for his new club.
The two teams have met 51 times, with Sevilla having an edge with 18 wins while Atletico Madrid has 17 wins. They have recorded 16 draws.
