Atleti host Sevilla in key game for Champions League football
Our team plays Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano with a Champions League spot at stake. The game is to take place at 4 pm CET on Saturday.
Atleti gear up for another key clash at the Wanda Metropolitano. Our team faces Sevilla at 4 pm CET on Saturday with a Champions League spot at stake. In fact, the Andalusian side are third in the LaLiga standings and have picked up two more points than us.
The fight for the Champions League spots is extremely tight this season, with five points separated by just five points. Simeone’s men arrive at the game in fifth place, so Saturday’s game is a must-win for us.
Atleti drew at Espanyol in the last match, whereas Lopetegui’s team beat Osasuna 3-2 at home. Our games against Sevilla have historically been very evenly-matched and decided by details. For instance, when both sides met at the Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium earlier this season, the match ended 1-1 as Morata cancelled out Vázquez’s opener.
Our opponents have been playing well away from home. In fact, they currently have the second best away record in LaLiga. On the other hand, Atleti are strong at home, where only Barcelona have managed to win this season. With a packed Wanda Metropolitano as the perfect stage, everything looks set for a thrilling clash.
