Sevilla-Atletico Madrid is a match valid for the 24th day of La Liga and is played Sunday at 6:30pm: TV, lineups and predictions
The points difference in the standings is 28. And objectively they do not fit. But that is, at the moment, and it needs to be taken into account ahead of what is the big match Sunday in Spanish La Liga. An Atletico wounded by the home defeat in the King’s Cup against Bilbao pays a visit to a Sevilla reinvigorated by the away affirmation on the field of Rayo Vallecano.
Yes, let’s look at the standings first: the Colchoneros are in fourth place, just two points behind Barcelona but they have Valverde’s own ranks behind them, hoping for a hook-up by winning their match and dreaming of a misstep. Sevilla, on the other hand, have 20 points in the standings and are very close to the relegation zone, which they left just last week. The points at stake are therefore very heavy, the kind that can be worth three times as much, and with two teams that objectively can both win.
Of course, Atletico is stronger otherwise there would be no ranking to look at but perhaps Sevilla has managed to pull itself out of a complicated situation. Reasoning this way, it seems obvious to us that it could end in a draw-imagining an Andalusian victory is too much-but Morata and co. have placed several important outside blows over the course of this season. And it is precisely the Spaniard, formerly of Juventus, who will return to the field from the first minute with the desire to smash the World.
The prediction
One goal per team fits, especially since Atletico Madrid is not offering defensively speaking performances to remember. And because of what we told you earlier also watch out for the external blow of Simeone’s troop, which needs three points to stay inside the Champions League. For Sevilla, then, another misstep that would complicate the path again.
