On the hunt for the fifth consecutive win in LaLiga
Atlético de Madrid welcome Sevilla to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Sunday 8 at 21:00 CET with the goal of securing a fifth consecutive win in LaLiga.
After the goalfest in Pucela against Valladolid (0-5), Diego Pablo Simeone’s side are back with their fans to continue this brilliant run of form and maintain their spot near the top of the table after beating Las Palmas (2-0), Mallorca (0-1), Alavéz (2-1) and the aforementioned big win over the albivoletas. The manager will be able to call on Le Normand, who has recovered from the injury he sustained against Real Madrid, boosting the defensive reinforcements.
Sevilla come into the match after drawing against Osasuna (1-1) at the Sánchez Pizjuán and after a block of five games in which they won two, 1-0 against Rayo Vallecano and 0-2 in Barcelona against Espanyol, drawing against the mentioned Osasuna and then losing two, 0-2 in Nervión against Real Sociedad and 1-0 away to Leganés.
A special highlight of this match includes the return of Saúl Ñíguez, who will feature for Sevilla. He played 427 matches as a rojiblanco winning two UEFA Europa League (2011/12 and 2017/18), one League title (2020/21), one Copa del Rey (2012/13) one Supercopa de España (2014/15) and one Supercopa de Europa (2018/19).
It will mark the start of an intense week for our side, as we have three games at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Sevilla, Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday 11 in the Champions League and on Sunday 15 against Getafe.
