Atlético Madrid vs Sevilla Match Preview
Atletico returned to victory last week after five weeks, and Quique Sanchez Flores wants to take advantage of the momentum granted by this victory to inject his Colchoneros with Andalusian blood, leapfrog Sevilla and claim the 7th position as they wait for Real Sociedad and Espanyol to take on each other.
Sevilla, recently eliminated from the Europa League, needs the full scoring badly to shorten the gap from the last Champions League qualifying place, which stands 12 points above their head. Sevilla's Luis Fabiano and Antonio Negredo will measure their strengths against Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan.
Sevilla's coach Gregorio Manzano will have to do without goalkeeper Antonio Palop, Frederic Kanoute and Romaric as the three of them are ruled out due to injuries. Atletico's coach, on the other hand, can choose freely among his players as all of them are fit for this week's decisive six-pointer.
Watch out for Ivan Rakitic and Jose Antonio Reyes, for they can completely change the game from one secod to the other. Who'll claim the full scoring?
