Sevilla vs Athletico Madrid
March 22, 2008
22/3- In a battle for the fourth place on the points table Sevilla get ready this week to play hosts to Athletico Madrid who are currently the occupants of the fourth spot on the points table and are a couple of points ahead of Sevilla. Both teams are in tremendous form but Sevilla are performing better looking at the last 10 matches played by both sides this season. In the last 10 matches played Sevilla have managed to win 7 while lost 2 and drawn one match on the other hand their opponents have managed just 4 victories while have lost 5 times and also have a single drawn match. The last time both the teams clashed was earlier this season and playing at home Athletico Madrid were able to beat Sevilla with a 4-3 score line. But looking at the head to head record between the sides it can be clearly seen that Sevilla have been dominant as they have won 8 of the 21 matches played between the sides while Athletico have managed to win just 5.
Sevilla have been a great team while playing at home and beating them at home would not be easy for Athletico and hence the visitors might play for a draw but the home team would want to win this all important match. Sevilla would be pretty confident getting into the match as they managed to beat Valencia in an away tie last week. Fabiano is in ominous form and has already scored 22 goals this season and the home crowd would expect some more from his this weekend.
Athletico on the other hand would not want to concede their position to Sevilla they also come into this match after a win which was at home against Levante. A point from the match would be a good performance.
Prediction: 1-0, Sevilla win
