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

Diego Simeone’s Atletico hope to bounce back to winning ways against Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid will make their way to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to take on Sevilla in their next LaLiga match. The Spanish giants, who are currently in third position behind Barcelona and city rivals Real Madrid, will hope for a change in fate after their three consecutive winless games in the elite Spanish league.
To add more insult, Atleti lost their last match as they were also knocked out of the Copa del Rey after losing to Barcelona. The second leg ended (0-1) courtesy of a Ferran Torres goal. Prior to this, the Diego Simeone-managed side were also knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after losing to Real Madrid in the round of 16.
So it goes without saying that the morale in the Atleti dressing room wouldn’t exactly be as high as it’s known to be after the recent string of calamity that has befallen them. It was also apparent in their manager’s demeanor as Simeone, who is known for being resilient, looked close to tears during his recent press conference after the club’s loss against Barcelona.
Sevilla can surely use this as an advantage. Beating Atletico is surely no easy task, but when the team is such a wreck, the work becomes relatively easier.

Players to Watch
Dodi Lukebakio (Sevilla)
Sevilla forward Dodi Lukebakio has not missed a single game for Sevilla this season in the LaLiga. The Belgian international has scored 11 goals this calendar year. He has also provided two assists.
With almost 57 shots on goals, he has been a commanding presence for Sevilla in front of the goal. Spending almost 2436 minutes on the pitch, Lukebakio has been an active presence and will surely trouble Juan Musso under the Atleti net.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)
Julian Alvarez has already created a lot of hype around himself. The 25-year-old is even touted as being the next big Argentinian star after Leo Messi. The Calchin-born player is certainly living up to those expectations.
Similar to Lukebakio, Alvarez has also scored 11 goals this season and delivered two assists. Adept at playing in any position in the front line, Julian is also highly regarded for his ability to maneuver the ball in limited space.
