Atletico Madrid need a point in their final home game of the La Liga season to secure second place in the table for the second season running.
Diego Siemone’s side welcome Sevilla to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday, with the Andalusians needing a win to keep alive their fading hopes of claiming the final Champions League place.
Latest odds
Los Rojiblancos have lost only two of their last 39 home league matches and SportPesa offer them at 23/20 (2.15) for their 16th home win of the season. Sevilla have won five of their 18 away matches this term and are offered at 47/20 (3.35) with the draw at 12/5 (3.60).
Team news
Atletico remain without striker Diego Costa, centre-back Jose Maria Gimenez and full-back Lucas Hernandez.
Sevilla for their part have midfielder Ever Banega suspended, while forward Andre Silva and wing-back Daniel Carrico are both out.
Preview
Backing Atletico to win to nil at home this season has been one of the most profitable bets in La Liga. Indeed, Simeone’s men have won 15 of their 18 home matches this term, with 13 of those victories coming with clean sheets.
Sevilla meanwhile have failed to score in three of their last four matches, while their form specifically on the road is even more alarming.
The team from the capital of Andalusia have drawn a blank in six of their last nine matches away from the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, and against one of the best defensive units in Europe they could struggle once more.
Tips and predictions
Backing another win without conceding for Atletico is offered at the extremely healthy looking price of 53/20 (3.65) and given the regularity with which this selection has paid out at the Wanda Metropolitano this season, it seems like an unmissable selection.
To further reinforce this bet, Sunday’s game will be the final home match for Atletico captain Diego Godin after nine years and the Uruguayan defender will surely want to bow out with another win and another clean sheet.
