Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla FC Preview

Atletico Madrid welcome their second visitors to their brand new Wanda Metropolitano stadium in this game and their fans will be hoping for a much better performance than their first game at their new home.

Their last match was not the best performance with the game having very few clear chances.

They need to up their game when Sevilla come visiting as the visitors are one of the toughest sides to score against in La Liga.

Atletico have maintained their impressive defensive performance as the have conceded just once in their last 4 games but they need to do more in their attack and they welcome the return of Diego Costa with much joy even though he won’t be eligible to play until January.

Sevilla have been impressive this season as they look to finish in the top four yet again.

They were not famous for their defensive ability last season but the Andaluscians come into this game with a good record of conceding just 1 goal from their 5 league games so far, which has helped them climb to 2^nd position on the league table.

They have perfected the art of winning dirty as they ground out two 1-0 wins this past week – they will be looking to continue that form with another win here.

Sevilla have struggled in their last few games against Atleti, as they have scored just 2 goals in their last five meetings with the Madrid side.

They have an opportunity to show that they are much improved side in this game.

Bookmakers make Atletico odds-on to win this tie.
