Atletico Madrid are second in La Liga and with two games remaining, only Real Madrid can overtake them. They host Sevilla in their final home league game before a trip to Levante next week. They lost 3-0 at Espanyol last weekend but their home form remains the best in La Liga. Atletico have won their last six home league matches with only Valencia being able to score against them. 15 out of 18 have been won at home this seaon with the only defeat being to Real Madrid.

Sevilla come into this game in sixth place and assured of Europa League football next season. They are only behind fifth placed Valencia on head-to-head results and just three behind the final Champions League place currently held by Getafe. Sevilla lost both of their league games against Getafe so need to get a higher points total than them but their rivals are away to Barcelona this weekend who are hardly likely to be in a good mood after Tuesday's result. Sevilla had won three straight league games before losing 3-0 at home to Leganes last week. Away from home, they have a disappointing record. Only two of their last 14 league games have been won with seven losses in the last nine. Back Atletico to get the win here and confirm second place behind Barcelona.
