Atlético Madrid vs. Sevilla FC
In La Liga, Atlético Madrid could finalise their Champions League qualification for next season with just a point in their upcoming home game against Sevilla. After winning the capital derby against arch-rivals Real Madrid, Diego Simeone’s side followed it up with a 2-0 away win in Elche on Wednesday night. Now Atlético will be looking for success in their last home game of the season.
Sevilla, on the other hand, did not manage more than a goalless draw against relegation candidates Mallorca on Wednesday evening. The draw meant that the Andalusians had to give up 3rd place in the table to the upcoming hosts. However, the draw against Mallorca was no coincidence, as coach Julen Lopetegui’s team had already drawn twice before. Now Sevilla will be looking to get back on the winning track in Madrid.

Atlético Form & Balance Check
Atlético Madrid are on the verge of saving their season just in time for the final moment of the season. The Rojiblancos still had to tremble until last Wednesday about being allowed to play Champions League football at all next season. The capitals had nothing to do with the championship. Atlético moved up to 3rd place with two wins in a row. Betis are in 5th place with six points less, which is why just one point against Sevilla would be enough for coach Simeone’s team to be seeded in the Champions League next season.
Home to the top flight
Like their upcoming guests, Atlético Madrid have also had enormous problems scoring away from home this season. The Rojiblancos have also only picked up 27 points away from home. At home, however, only Real Madrid have scored as many points as Atlético. With 40 points from 18 home games, the Madrilenians collect an average of 2.22 points per home game. In addition, Atlético have only conceded 15 goals at home so far. Only three teams have conceded fewer goals at home.
Atlético facts & analysis
– Atletico are in 3rd place in the table with 67 points.
– The Rojiblancos won two games in a row.
– Atletico won their last home match against Real.
Sevilla form & balance check
For a long time, Sevilla FC were Real Madrid’s fiercest rivals this season and were in contention for the Spanish championship. But the Andalusians clearly ran out of steam in the final spurt of the season. The Sevillistas won only one of their last five La Liga matches. In addition, the Nervionenses were eliminated from the Europa League. In the last three games, Sevilla drew twice against two relegation candidates. Only on Wednesday did the game in Mallorca end in a 0-0 draw.
Not in the top 4 away
Among other things, the 1-1 draw at Villarreal a week ago shows why Sevilla were no longer in the title fight. While the Nervionenses have been the best home team for very long periods this season, the Andalusians can only be found in 5th place in the away table. The Blanquirrojos would not be in the top flight next year if they were to finish in that position. Sevilla have won only one of their last five away matches.
Sevilla facts & analysis
– Sevilla are in 4th place in the table with 66 points.
– The Blanquirrojos have played three consecutive draws.
– Most recently Sevilla drew 0-0 with Mallorca (18th place).
Predicted line-up – last update on 13 May 2022
It is very likely that coach Diego Simeone will play in a 4-4-2 system. This was the system Atletico used to defeat Real Madrid in the derby. Should the Rojiblancos choose a different formation, the Madrilenians would possibly play in a 3-5-2 system. Simeone has a free choice of who to field. Carrasco scored the winning goal in the capital derby.
Sevilla play offensively. Coach Julen Lopetegui preferred a 4-3-3 wing system in the last weeks, in which the Andalusians were especially dangerous on the flanks. The Hispalenses can also draw from the full. Corona scored a brace in the last away win at Levante.
