Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Bet Builder Tips
Atletico Madrid look to make it five La Liga wins in a row when an inconsistent Sevilla make the trip to the capital on Sunday evening.
A spot in the top two could be the reward for Atleti while Sevilla could move into the top half if they can come away with the win.
⭐ Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Best Bets
Atletico Madrid head into this match having won their last four. They have won nine matches in La Liga this season and seven of them have had fewer than 4 goals. Sevilla have lost six matches this term and only their defeat to the leaders Barcelona saw 4 goals or more. These two met twice here last season and Atletico won 1-0 on both occasions and something similar could be in the pipeline in this one.
👕 Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Predicted XI
🔍 Atletico Madrid v Sevilla Players to Watch
🔴 Antoine Griezmann
One of the mainstays of this period of success for Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone is Antoine Griezmann and he arrives at this match having scored in his last three outings. Given his class it wouldn’t be a huge surprise were he to notch again here but the 1.44 on him having a shot on target looks big. He had two shots on target against Valladolid last time out.
⚪ Dodi Lukebakio
If Sevilla are going to get any joy in this match it could well come via the Belgium international Dodi Lukebakio. The attacker averages 1.37 shots on target this season in La Liga and is a big price at 1.91 to hit the target here. He did that twice in the game against Osasuna last weekend and with his pace and trickery, he could be a threat to the Atletico backline. One shot on target here has every chance of arriving.
🟠 Javi Galan
One key battle in this match will be down the Atletico Madrid left side where Javi Galan will be assigned the task of marking the tricky Dodi Lukebakio and given that the defender is averaging 3.10 fouls committed per 90 minutes this season you would imagine the referee will pull him up on a couple of occasions here. He committed four fouls in a 5-0 win in Valladolid last week. Lukebakio wins 1.37 fouls per 90 so Galan has his hands full here.
