Atletico Madrid take on Sevilla, embroiled in a battle for survival. The Mattress Machine seems to be back on track, as evidenced by a seven-match unbeaten streak in the league, complemented by a fiery 1:1 draw against fellow countrymen Real Madrid. What’s more, Diego Simeone is keen to secure European football for his players next fall and he does so amid reports of his imminent resignation. This season, the Indians have been very sluggish at home meetings, in which they have won only five of 11 meetings, while they are 17 points behind the leader. Nevertheless, the Red-Whites have 12 victories and 42 points. De Paul, Reguilon, Mandawa, Llorente and Kongdobia, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play.
A 2:3 loss to Osasuna in the last round prompted manager Jorge Sampaoli to admit the fight was “the toughest fight of the tournament” as it left Sevilla two points above the relegation zone. Departure to the capital is not the best option in order to remedy the situation, while in Madrid the team has not won for the past five matches. For 23 rounds, the Nervions have six wins and seven draws, which corresponds to 25 points and 14th position in the standings. Requik, Marcao, Papa Gomez, Fernando, Corona and Beid, who has a knee injury, will not play in this duel. More all today football match predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
