Matchday 11 of La Liga between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla will take place on November 1 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico Madrid vs. Sevilla: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Atletico Madrid
The team is showing increasingly impressive results in La Liga. Earlier this week, Atletico secured an away victory over a strong Betis side, extending their unbeaten run in the league to nine matches (5 wins, 4 draws). Over the last five rounds, the Madrid team has collected 13 out of a possible 15 points, the best result in the league. This surge has helped improve their position in the table. After a difficult start, Diego Simeone's side now sits fourth, just three points behind second place. Notably, Atletico has scored in 12 consecutive La Liga matches. This season, they have scored a total of 18 goals in the league, with only Real Madrid and Barcelona having more. In terms of goals conceded, Atletico shares second place with several other clubs (10 goals).
- Atletico's home scoring streak in La Liga lasts 22 matches.
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 7 of their last 9 league games.
- The club is unbeaten in their last 9 home matches in La Liga (8 wins, 1 draw).
Predicted lineup for Atletico Madrid (4-3-3)
Jan Oblak – Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand, Jose Maria Gimenez, David Ganzko – Pablo Barrios, Koke, Alex Baena – Nicolas Gonzalez, Giuliano Simeone, Julian Alvarez.
Key midfielder Pablo Barrios is injured. Midfielder Johnny Cardoso's participation in the match is in doubt.
Sevilla
Matias Almeyda's side is not far from the European competition spots, but they lack consistency to break into the top six. Before facing Atletico, Sevilla suffered two consecutive La Liga defeats for the second time this season, although they lost only 1 of the 6 matches in between those poor runs (4 wins, 1 draw). Notably, in their last two league games, the team lost to Real Sociedad and Mallorca, who are in the bottom half of the table. Sevilla has dropped to 11th place. It's worth noting that the team has consistently scored in all their La Liga matches this season. In the last 10 matches involving Sevilla, a total of 33 goals have been scored, a figure surpassed only by Barcelona (37 goals).
- Matias Almeyda's side has won with a +1.5 handicap in 9 of their last 10 league games.
- The team's uncompromising away run in La Liga extends to 11 matches (4 wins, 7 losses).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 6 of Sevilla's last 7 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-2-3-1)
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Jose Carmona, Marcao, Fabio Cardoso, Gabriel Suazo – Nemanja Gudelj, Lucien Agoume – Ruben Vargas, Djibril Sow, Alexis Sanchez – Isaac Romero.
Key midfielder Lucien Agoume is suspended. Forward Alexis Sanchez will miss the match due to injury.
Prediction for Atletico Madrid vs. Sevilla
Both teams are notable for their good scoring ability, so their head-to-head encounter could be quite entertaining. Atletico has been scoring in all their La Liga matches this season. Additionally, Diego Simeone's side is improving defensively, but they still make mistakes, resulting in both teams scoring in 7 of Atletico's last 10 league games. Atletico's home scoring streak in the league lasts 22 matches, and keeping a clean sheet has not always been achieved.
Like Atletico, Sevilla has yet to finish a La Liga match this season without scoring. The team scores regardless of the opponent's level, but their total number of goals scored and conceded is nearly equal, meaning that despite their effective attacking play, Matias Almeyda's side is vulnerable defensively. Both teams have scored in 9 of Sevilla's last 11 league games, and the same trend was observed in 5 of their last 7 away matches in the tournament.
It's worth adding that both teams have scored in 5 of the last 7 meetings at Atletico's ground in La Liga. Prediction: Both teams to score – yes
