Prediction: 1-2
Atletico Madrid
There will be fireworks when Sevilla and Atletico Madrid go head to head at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Matchday 18. Los Sevillanos did well to beat Athletic Bilbao at San Mames in their last league match, with the team keeping their title hopes alive. Julen Lopetegui welcomes experienced midfielder Ivan Rakitic back from suspension, but all Suso, Jesus Navas, Erik Lamela, and Marcos Acuna should miss out with injuries.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in el Madrileno, with los Blancos ruining their title hopes. Diego Simeone’s troops aim to retain their spot in top four, and given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. Both Thomas Lemar and Luis Suarez are pushing for a start, while Antoine Griezmann, Sime Vrsaljko, Jose Gimenez, and Stefan Savic are all likely to miss the game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Diego Carlos):
Diego Carlos Santos Silva is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Nantes as a defender. His main position is centre-back and his preferred foot is right. Diego Carlos began his youth career at America-SP and in 2010 he moved to Desportivo Brasil. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Sao Paulo, the 185-cm-tall defender returned to Desportivo Brasil.
However, he made his first-team debut with Madureira during his spell with the club (2014). In 2014 Diego Carlos signed a contract with Portuguese club Estoril Praia and he scored two goals in 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club. It has to be noted, though, that he played for Porto B (on loan) in the 2014/2015 season.
Diego Carlos moved to French club Nantes in the summer of 2016 and you should bear in mind that he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with les Canaris. The Brazilian footballer scored two goals in 34 appearances for Nantes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. His contract with the Ligue 1 side expires on June 20, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
