Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Preview
- Tournament: La Liga
- Date: Sunday, December 8
- Kick-off Time: 08:00 PM GMT
- Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid.
Riding on hot form, La Liga giants Atletico de Madrid are set to host Sevilla FC in the Spanish capital next. This is the 16th game for both sides in the Spanish top division in 2024-25. These teams have been at par with one another in the past few instances, but this time, they are far apart.
Atletico de Madrid have won their last four league games, and would in all likelihood be heading for five-in-a-row wins. The club hails the best defense in La Liga this season, having conceded just eight goals. With such a strong back-line, a win should be the only aim for them in this game.
Sevilla FC have seemed lost this season. They are mid-table with just 19 points in 15 games. The form has been dry, with only five wins to talk about. Ideally, a draw should make them happy while playing against an equipped side, but they should target a win if they really wish to target a spot that suits them in the points table.

Key Players to Watch in Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla
Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)
Oblak is without much debate the best goalie in La Liga 2024-25. He has seven clean sheets in 14 games and conceded just eight in the rest. He leads the team from their own half, and he has been terrific with his reflexes. He is the main wall in this strong defense, which as per stats is the best in Spain currently.
Playing under Simeone, his park-the-bus approach, he plays a key part and is not ideal in the game. He isn’t expected to be ideal either when facing Sevilla FC, as the coach doesn’t imply many changes for defensively weak sides. He needs to be at his best and aim for another clean sheet here.
Nemanja Gudelj (Sevilla)
The captain and pivot of the Sevilla midfield, Nemanja needs to do something extraordinary here. He has got the skills needed to control the midfield, and this zone will be crucial for the team if they aim to target full points.
The hosts are not expected to be much keen on the centre, so it should be his arena. However, it is not as simple as it looks here. He needs to get the better of physically better players, which can be challenging.
Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction
Atletico Madrid are the favourites in this fixture, and they should get a big win here. They have a great defense, and they must be holding that along with attacking with their jeweled attackers to count more leads. Sevilla FC stands a minimal chance, especially given the fact their leaky defense is making situations worse, and they are playing away from home.
Predicted Score: Atletico Madrid 3-0 Sevilla
