Will Atletico get the next big draw?
Atletico Madrid play Sevilla and the overall situation could hardly be more different. Reaching the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey is the Andalusians’ biggest and probably only success so far this season.
The Atletico Madrid vs. Sevilla prediction of the local bookmakers unanimously shows a clear favorite role for Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros are individually superior, but are also playing the significantly stronger season. Of course, this could be turned around in a knockout game, but there is not much to suggest that this will be the case
Atletico will try to score with a clear superiority and leave no doubt right from the start. Our Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla betting tip is that the hosts will emerge victorious after 90 minutes.
Atletico Madrid – Statistics & current form
Admittedly, not everything is going well for coach Diego Simeone’s team this season. But Atletico Madrid’s recent performance against Real Madrid in the last round of the Copa del Rey was impressive. The Whites were beaten 4:2 in extra time and now the draw has Sevilla FC in store. It’s a traditional clash, but on paper, of course, the easier task. The Colchoneros want to reach the semi-finals and win the title. The Andalusians should be no obstacle.
Against Sevilla, Diego Simeone and his Atletico will once again rely on the currently very prolific attacking duo of Griezmann and Morata. Both have already scored 24 goals between them in the league alone. That is an absolute top figure. They should also be able to break down an opponent like Sevilla, who are certainly more focused on defense.
Atletico Madrid want to control their opponents, give them little space and switch quickly after taking the lead once they have retreated a little more into defense. The automatisms work well in this respect, even if too much has been conceded at one stage or another this season. 23 goals conceded in the league is not bad, but the record has certainly been better. Nevertheless, few mistakes are made, especially without pressure
On track for the title after the Real win?
At the moment, the home team looks quite stable, winning three of their last four competitive matches. In the Spanish league, however, it looks as if third place would be the maximum, as Girona and Real Madrid are one step above them. Even though the Whites have already been beaten twice, that is not enough to keep up consistently. The signs are clear against Sevilla, however, with the Atlético Madrid vs Sevilla odds showing the home side as favorites.
The Rojiblancos are particularly strong in home games. They have nine wins from ten games in the league, which is very impressive. Coach Simeone’s team almost always produce top performances here, and the fans are behind the team and can push them on.
So almost everything speaks for a home win. That’s why our prediction ahead of the Atlético Madrid v Sevilla game is that the hosts will come away victorious
Predicted line-up for Atletico Madrid:
Oblak – Hermoso, Gimenez, Savic – Molina, Llorente, Barrios, Koke, Lino – Griezmann, Morata
Sevilla – statistics & current form
Sevilla FC are sliding from one mess to the next this season. The Andalusians have already sacked two coaches, rebuilt the squad a little in the winter, but are not getting back on track. They finished bottom of the Champions League and are currently fighting relegation in La Liga. Only the Copa del Rey is currently serving as a distraction.
They have recently suffered four defeats in six games. Sevilla collapse when they suffer setbacks. A great example of this was the game against Girona on Sunday. Sevilla started well, took the lead, but then equalized and suddenly nothing went right. Girona didn’t even have to push themselves to the limit to win 5:1 in the end. Of course, they don’t want that to happen again at the Metropolitano.
However, the team is unsettled and has hardly been able to enjoy any success. Sevilla themselves do not really know what kind of soccer they can and want to play. This naturally leads to a number of problems. The fact that there is only one player in the squad who has scored more than three league goals does not speak well for the team’s approach either
Sevilla trailing in the odds
It would have been much better for Sevilla to play this cup tie at home. The team feels a little more comfortable there, scores a little more often and has conceded fewer defeats. However, the previous cup games were all played away from home and logically won.
Sevilla have not produced enough offensively, they are weaker away from home and their defense is vulnerable. So it’s not surprising that the Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla betting odds don’t have much faith in the Andalusians. If the team pulls itself together and pushes itself to the limit, at least an exciting game seems possible.
That’s why our value tip ahead of the Atletico Madrid v Sevilla game is that neither team will score.
Predicted Sevilla line-up:
Nyland – Jesus Navas, Bade, Ramos, Pedrosa – Jordan, Rakitic, Sow, Suso – Ocampos, Rafa Mir
Atletico Madrid – Sevilla head-to-head / H2H result

Atletico Madrid – Sevilla betting tip
Atletico Madrid have everything in their own hands ahead of the game against Sevilla. Their form is better, they are stronger individually and home advantage also plays a part in their starting position
Based on all these factors, our prediction ahead of the match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla is that the hosts will win.
