Atletico Madrid are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they lock horns with Sevilla on Saturday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Sevilla are in second place in the La Liga standings and have been exceptional this season. The Andalusian giants edged Athletic Bilbao to an important 1-0 victory last week and will want a similar result in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. Los Colchoneros suffered a 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid in their previous game and will want to bounce back this weekend.
Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Head-to-Head
Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are on an even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won 18 games apiece out of a total of 55 matches played between the two sides.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in April this year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Sevilla. Atletico Madrid were wasteful on the day and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.
