Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction: Each team has its own motivation for the game

The centerpiece of Saturday's pool match of the 24th round of the Spanish La Liga will be the match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. Each team has its own motivation for the game. The capital team has the desire to consolidate in the Champions League competitions, while the southerners want to move away from the relegation zone as soon as possible.

Atletico Madrid

After being eliminated from the Spanish Cup by Real Madrid, Atlético played five games in La Liga, winning three and drawing two. They drew with Getafe and Real Madrid and were stronger than Osasuna, Celta, and Athletic. Notably, all wins in this period were by a score of 1:0. Before the game day, Atletico was in fourth place with 42 points, only two points more than Betis, the closest pursuer of the Indians and the main rival. Atletico's home statistics are ninth in the division, +5=3-3, 16:10 goal difference. It should be noted that Atletico's main goal for the rest of the season is to maintain their place in the top-4 of La Liga.

Sevilla

Sevilla is now on a tighter schedule because the southerners play in La Liga and the Europa League. In the last match in the Liga, Sevilla lost away to PSV, but that result was enough for the South Koreans to qualify for the round of 16 in the second European cup. Three days after their defeat in Holland, Sevilla lost 2:3 to Osasuna. Despite the defeat, Sevilla retained a place in the middle of the championship standings, namely 14th. The gap between the relegation zone and Valencia is only two points. The southerners' away statistics are 13th in the division, +2=4-5, 12:18 goal difference.

For Sevilla, the Europa League is more important than La Liga. It is obvious that the Southerners are no longer competing for a place in the European Cup competitions in the Primera, and the only opportunity to cling to Europe is to win the second most important European Cup. It is a difficult task, but Sevilla has won the Europa League more than once. On the other hand, Sevilla's situation in the Primera is not easy, and the southerners will do everything they can to get points from Madrid. The Europa League for Sevilla comes first. But for Atlético, the first and only place in La Liga and solving the problem of getting into the Champions League next season. In terms of motivation, composition, and the advantage on the side of the home team, we bet on the home team. As for the total, we do not expect an abundance of goals, the Madrid team has recently demonstrated a good game in defense, and there is no confidence that Sevilla will be able to score.
