In-form Atletico Madrid will be at home to take on Sevilla on Match Day 16 of the Spanish La Liga this Sunday.
This match marks the two teams’ first meeting of the season and they are placed across the two halves of the La Liga table.
Atletico currently sit third in the standings and are 13 points clear of Sevilla who are 11th. Both teams might, however, have dropped further down in the table by the time they take to the Wanda Metropolitano for this game.
Bookies have Atletico as favourites to win this match but they did lose the last time they faced off with Sevilla. With Barcelona and Real Madrid faltering a lot lately, Atletico Madrid will be on the watch to take advantage.
After securing a midweek win over Cacereno in the Copa Del Rey round two, Atletico Madrid are back in action as they take on Sevilla in round 16 of LaLiga at Riyadh Air Metropolitano. This game will be the homecoming of Saul Niguez who spent most of his career with the Atletico Madrid team.
Atletico Madrid have become a force again after a topsy-turvy start to the season where they were struggling to win consistently. But now everything has changed as the team looks to settle in the top three of the LaLiga standings.
Currently, Diego Simeone’s side are occupying third place with 32 points, five points shy of table-toppers Barcelona. They are also currently on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions.
