The Matchday 30 clash in La Liga between Sevilla and Atletico Madrid will take place on April 6 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs. Atletico Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
Garcia Pimienta's side has suffered back-to-back defeats in the league for the second time this season. At home, they lost to Athletic (0-1), followed by an away defeat to Betis (1-2). As a result, the team has slipped to the lower half of the table, trailing the European competition spots by 11 points. However, they maintain a comfortable 9-point lead over the relegation zone.
- The team scored exactly one goal in 4 of their last 5 La Liga matches.
- Sevilla failed to win the first half in 11 of their last 13 league matches (7 draws and 4 losses).
- Sevilla has a 5-match winless streak at home in La Liga (3 draws and 2 losses).
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-4-2)
Orjan Nyland – Kike Salas, Jose Carmona, Loic Bade, Adria Pedrosa – Juanlu Sanchez, Nemanja Gudelj, Ruben Vargas, Albert Sambi Lokonga – Dodi Lukebakio, Isaac Romero.
Atletico Madrid
The capital club is in their worst form of the season. For the first time since November 2022, Atletico has failed to win three consecutive league matches. They lost to Getafe (1-2) and Barcelona (2-4) before drawing away with Espanyol (1-1). Due to this run, Diego Simeone's side is now nine points behind leaders Barcelona and six behind Real Madrid. Nonetheless, the club still boasts the best defense in La Liga, having conceded only 23 goals.
- Atletico has won only two of their last seven La Liga matches (3 draws and 2 losses).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 12 of Atletico's last 13 league games.
- The team has scored in 15 of their last 17 away La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Atletico Madrid (3-4-3)
Jan Oblak – Cesar Azpilicueta, Clement Lenglet, Robin Le Normand – Marcos Llorente, Conor Gallagher, Samuel Lino, Pablo Barrios – Antoine Griezmann, Alexander Sorloth, Giuliano Simeone.
Forward Angel Correa and defender Jose Maria Gimenez will miss the match due to suspensions.
Match Prediction: Sevilla vs. Atletico Madrid
Despite the difference in league positions, a slight preference is given to the hosts. Sevilla has lost only three of their last 12 home matches in La Liga (5 wins and 4 draws), with defeats only to teams consistently competing for top spots. Meanwhile, Atletico is experiencing a slight dip, leading to a significant gap from the top two in La Liga. Additionally, Atletico has only managed to beat Valencia in their last five away league games (2 draws and 2 losses).
Sevilla also benefits from the slight fatigue of Diego Simeone's squad, who played a tough Copa del Rey match against Barcelona on Wednesday. It's also worth noting that Atletico has two key players suspended. Furthermore, Sevilla consistently puts up a fight against more illustrious opponents in head-to-head encounters – Atletico has won only once in their last six visits to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in La Liga (2 draws and 3 losses). Therefore, my prediction is: Sevilla to win or draw.
