Atletico Madrid have an opportunity to make a big step in their La Liga title charge when they face Sevilla, who have top four ambitions, and a win for them will be key too. Sevilla, the hosts in this game, are placed fourth at the moment, with 55 points while league leaders Atletico have 66 points. Both sides have been eliminated in the Champions League and Copa del Rey so this is the only competition they are vying for. Sevilla head to this game unbeaten in four matches but in their last, they needed a last minute goal to earn a 1-1 draw with Valladolid. They’ve failed to score in just one of their last 11 matches and won eight in the process. This season, Sevilla have already lost to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona and will be hoping to avoid a second loss to Atletico. Their two losses at home in the last 12 matches were against Real and Barca but with 10 wins in their 14 home league matches this season they have a reason to be confident heading here. In their last five home league matches they’ve kept clean sheets in four. Going to this game, they’ll be without the injured Aleix Vidal.

Atletico have managed to hold on their place at the top of La Liga despite going through a shaky run. They are still the side with the best defence, most wins and least losses in La Liga but head to this game with just three clean sheets in 12 league matches. The team is coming from a 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves. Luis Suarez’s goal set them on a five-match unbeaten streak in La Liga with his third goal in four matches. They have one loss in the last 17 league matches, winning 12 of them. Atletico haven’t been scoring a lot lately, most of their recent matches have produced one goal or less; in the last seven, they’ve scored twice in just two. However, they have a good away run in the league – unbeaten in their last eight matches. Their only loss in the last 13 away league matches was against Real Madrid, while they’ve won nine of them. Atletico will have Joao Felix back from suspension but Yannick Carrasco is suspended for this game.
