Sunday’s La Liga fixture will see two teams with different objectives clash at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos as Atletico Madrid host Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid has been in outstanding form lately; they have gone eleven games in a row without a loss in any tournament. Also, they have won their previous three La Liga home games.
With only 16 goals allowed in 25 games this season, Atletico Madrid boasts one of La Liga’s top defenses. It is very possible that they will keep a clean sheet in this game because they have done so six times in their last 10 games across all competitions.
