Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23

I think Atletico Madrid won't lose this but it might end in a draw rather than their getting a win.

I don't see Atletico Madrid playing a draw in this game because they are a better team than Sevilla this season; Atletico Madrid will want to resume their winning streak after losing two matches in a row, against Bayern Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League and Real Madrid in their most recent Laliga match.
Atletico Madrid is currently seventh in the Laliga table with 10 points; they would like to gain three points to move into the top five.

I also think Sevilla are a weak opponent for Atletico Madrid, although they have lost their last matches, but their opponents have been much stronger. The Champions League is not part of La Liga, so these matches are at a completely different level and the training for them is not the same as for the home league. Especially since Atletico lost their last derby against Real Madrid with dignity. I'm sure Sevilla won't be able to win them.

Both Sevilla and Atletico Madrid's performances have been unstable and erratic this season. They are not playing well. Sevilla has won just one match this season. And lost in 3 matches. However, Sevilla has won their last two home matches against Atletico Madrid. So if the players are confident then they can perform well. However, Sevilla has weaknesses in both attack and defense. It is very difficult to win against Atletico Madrid in such conditions. But the match is more likely to be a draw.

If Atletico win against Sevilla, they will have a great opportunity to stay at the top-5 of the standings, and the match against Brugge on October 4 should not be a serious problem for Atletico. Although I agree that it could be a draw against Sevilla, because statistically they have a lot of draws. The last time Atletico won away against Sevilla was 4 years ago. I was probably too confident that Atletico would win, but I still think they will. Cheesy
