Sevilla FC vs Atlético Madrid Prediction 18 December 2021

Sevilla and Atletico, claiming the Champions League zone, will face each other in the eighteenth round of the Spanish league.

Second place, 34 points and a goal difference of 26:11 - such layouts completely suit Sevilla, which for a long time finished only fourth. Over the past month, Rojiblancos have beaten strong Betis (2:0), Villarreal (2:0) and Athletic (1:0), and also blundered in front of Alaves (2:2) and Real Madrid (1:2).

Two consecutive failures from Mallorca (1:2) and Real Madrid (0:2) threw Atletico to the fourth line of the standings with 29 points in the asset and statistics of accurate shots of 27:18. Thus, the reigning league champions found themselves in a very difficult position. And their local successes in duels with Valencia (3:3), Osasuna (1:0) and Cadiz (4:1) were useless.

In important matches, both Sevilla and Atletico focus on reliability in defense and a minimum of danger in front of goal. We think that in the head-to-head confrontation they are not going to violate this philosophy.
