Two sides in the top of the La Liga table will square off this weekend at Wanda Metropolitano when Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla FC in the 38th game week of the campaign. Match day schedules for May 15, 2022 at 20:30 EAT.
Atletico Madrid is placed 3rd in the table and they have already ensured participation in the next edition of the Champions league. This will allow them to play without pressure, and especially since they are at home, we can expect them to put on one of their finest performances. The club is one of the best teams this season; they have three wins in the last five matches and three clean sheets too. At home, they are on an eight-game unbeaten run, with five wins and four clean sheets in that period. They’ve only lost once in their last 11 home matches.
Los Colchoneros prepare for this fixture high spirits following 0-2 La Liga victory agisnt Elche CF in their last game. In that match, Atlético had 44% possession, 11 shots with six of them on target and goals scored by Matheus Cunha (28′) and Rodrigo De Paul (62′). Elche CF got nine shots with none of them on target.
On the other end, Sevilla is placed 4th and they have not yet confirmed their ticket to the Champions league. They do have a five-point lead over the fifth placed Real Betis, and with two games remaining anything could happen. They are coming from three straight draws and have managed just two wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions. In the league, they have managed three clean sheets in the last 10 games and failed to score in four.
Sevilla held each other to 0-0 La Liga draw with Mallorca in their previous fixture. In that match, Sevilla had 72% possession and 18 shots with four of them on target. Mallorca got 10 shots with two of them on target.
