Tipster’s Angle

The fixture has an interesting backdrop, seeing how Atlético Madrid would want a win to consolidate their hold on the third place, while Sevilla need a point to seal their place in the UCL next season. Interestingly, their head-to-head record across all competitions in their previous ten matches stands at four wins for Sevilla, two for Atlético Madrid, and four draws. Here are our tips for this match:

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.94

In the last ten meetings between these two sides, both teams have found the back of the net eight times. Although Sevilla’s struggles in front of goal are well-known, we expect them to find their goalscoring touch in this match and the home side likewise. Both teams to score is available on the Sportsbet.io sportsbook at 1.94 odds.

Tip: Draw in Either Half @ 1.38

Sevilla may likely approach this match cautiously, and they have built a reputation as ‘draw merchants’ this season. Atlético Madrid are also notorious for their ‘negative football’ playing style, so we expect either half to end in a stalemate. Draw in either half is available on the Paripesa sportsbook at 1.38 odds.

Conclusion

Atlético only need the third place for bragging rights, having sealed their place in the UCL, but Sevilla’s qualification yet hangs in the balance. We expect a good performance and an attacking approach from both teams.
