Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Diego Simeone’s side are one of the best teams in the league.

After securing a midweek win over Cacereno in the Copa Del Rey round two, Atletico Madrid are back in action as they take on Sevilla in round 16 of LaLiga at Riyadh Air Metropolitano. This game will be the homecoming of Saul Niguez who spent most of his career with the Atletico Madrid team. 

Atletico Madrid have become a force again after a topsy-turvy start to the season where they were struggling to win consistently. But now everything has changed as the team looks to settle in the top three of the LaLiga standings. Currently, Diego Simeone’s side are occupying third place with 32 points, five points shy of table-toppers Barcelona. They are also currently on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions.

Sevilla on the other hand have endured a mixed campaign so far with the team languishing in 11th position in the standings. While they have pulled some good wins on the road, their inability to remain consistent with their performances has been a major problem for them. Garcia Pimienta’s side are coming into this tie on the back of a 3-1 win over UE Olot in the midweek Copa Del Rey win.

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Antoine Griezmann has earned legendary status within the club and fans for his extraordinary performances over the years. This season has been nothing new with the veteran player already scoring seven goals in all competitions while also assisting another six. While Griezmann is deadly in converting chances, it is his playmaking ability in the team that has been eye-catching to watch.

Dodi Lukebakio (⁠Sevilla)

The Belgium international has been in sensational form for Sevilla this season and is currently leading the goalscoring charts with six goals. He has displayed some wonderful performances so far earning Sevilla many valuable points on the road.
