Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After dropping two points in a 3-3 draw with their local rivals Getafe, Atletico Madrid will look to return to winning ways when they take on Sevilla in yet another home fixture. Los Rojiblancos are eyeing their ninth home win of the process, but they will have to do it without suspended defender Stefan Savic this time out. Both Pablo Barrios and Thomas Lemar are out of contention with injuries.
Los Sevillanos, meanwhile, proved their worth in the Andalusian derby at the weekend, with the team rolling over Granada 3-0 on the road, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Atletico Madrid, who have been producing excellent displays at home this term. Sevilla’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Joan Jordan, Dodi Lukebakio, Fernando, Marcos Acuna, Mariano Diaz, Jesus Navas, Erik Lamela, and Djibril Sow. Loic Bade is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
