Sevilla Preview: Steady Sevilla
In each of the last two seasons, Sevilla have been underwhelming with three permanent managers required to eventually stave off a relegation battle. Garcia Pimienta, who departed Las Palmas last summer, has somewhat steadied the ship.
He is dealing with a lack of quality within his squad with Dodi Lukebakio perhaps the only Sevilla player to offer much thrust in the final third. They most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat away to arch-rivals Real Betis in El Gran Derbi at the Benito Villamarin last weekend.
Atletico Madrid Preview: The collapse of Atleti
Diego Simeone has done a good job this season with Atletico Madrid teams of the past playing poorly but winning. However, this time around, they have played well in the last month and yet their campaign has collapsed.
Following on from being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and effectively knocked out of the La Liga title race, Los Rojiblancos were beaten by Barcelona in midweek, suffering a 5-4 aggregate defeat in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Sevilla Team News: Nothing fresh
There are no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues for Sevilla to deal with this weekend so they will be able to name an unchanged eleven for this one. They do remain without former Bayern Munich defender Tanguy Nianzou due to a thigh injury.
Predicted XI (4-1-4-1): Nyland; Jose Angel Carmona, Bade, Kike Salas, Adria Pedrosa; Gudelj; Lukebakio, Juanlu, Sambi Lokonga, Vargas; Isaac Romero
Unavailable: Nianzou (Injured)

Atletico Madrid Team News: Jose Maria Gimenez suspended
Diego Simeone rotated relatively heavily last weekend and he may well continue to do so to rediscover their form. They will be without Uruguay international centre-back Jose Maria Gimenez, who is missing through suspension for this weekend.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Oblak; Marcos Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Cesar Azpilicueta; Giuliano Simeone, Gallagher, Pablo Barrios, Samuel Lino; Sorloth, Griezmann
Unavailable: Jose Maria Gimenez (Suspended)

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Sevilla have been underwhelming in the last few years and they remain a team that have now faded into the middle-of-the-table, rather than able to challenge towards the top end. They do remain in contention for a top seven or eight finish. As mentioned, Atletico have actually been playing quite well despite their season all but ending on all three fronts. As a result, there should be value in still siding with the visitors for this one down in Andalusia.
Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Tip: Double chance – Atletico Madrid to win or draw
