Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction
Atletico Madrid are currently 4th in the league, having won two of their last five league games. They are 10 points behind league leaders Real Madrid, who have played a game more. They have not enjoyed the best of form recently, and given the already substantial gap between them and the league leaders, they cannot afford more dropped points.
Antoine Griezmann seems to have found the form that made Barcelona pay Atletico Madrid €120 million for him in 2019. The 32-year-old is enjoying his second spell under Diego Simeone's leadership.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are 15th in the league, having won one of their last five league games. They have a new man in charge in the form of Quique Sanches Flores, a name Watford fans will be familiar with; the Spaniard had two spells as coach with the English side.
Sevilla are struggling; they have names like Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Ramos and Erik Lamela in the side, but have not been able to put together some good performances this season so far.
Atletico Madrid should win here.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Sevilla
