Sevilla are still in the chase for a top four place and this is what they will be playing for when they travel to the Wanda Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid have already secured a top four place and the Champions League ticket. These two sides are separated by three points, hosts Atletico are third with 67 points while Sevilla are fourth with 66 points. Atletico secured a Champions League slot on Wednesday after beating Elche 2-0 for their second straight win and clean sheet. They have three wins in the last five matches and three clean sheets too. At home, they are on an eight-game unbeaten run, with five wins and four clean sheets in that period. They’ve only lost once in their last 11 home matches.

Sevilla haven’t been on a great run ahead of this game. They are coming from three straight draws and have managed just two wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions. In the league, they have managed three clean sheets in the last 10 games and failed to score in four. In their last game, they drew 0-0 with Mallorca and with fifth placed Real Betis in hot pursuit, they can’t afford to drop more points in their top four quest. A win here will secure their place in the top four, but Atletico know they have a mathematical chance at finishing second so they will also push for that. Sevilla have beaten Atletico Madrid in their last two meetings, but these haven’t come at Atletico’s backyard.
