The league leaders will try to create a wider gap between them and the second place even after having Saturday's game postponed.

What has been Atlético and Sevilla's form ahead of this game?

Atlético have won five of their last six games, with their only loss during that run coming against Real Madrid. Simeone's team are yet to lose a game at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, where they have earned 22 out of 24 possible points. Their most recent match was supposed to take place against Athletic, but a blizzard in Madrid forced the game to be postponed.

Sevilla will enter this clash on a six-game streak without a loss. Out of those games, Lopetegui's crew has won four and drawn two. In fact, the team's most recent loss in La Liga was handed to them by Real Madrid, on December 5, 2020. Their last clash ended with a 3-2 win over Real Sociedad.

What is Atlético and Sevilla's position in the ongoing La Liga season?

Atlético are top of the league despite not being able to play three of their games this season. Out of the 15 games they have played, Los Colchoneros have won twelve, with two draws and only one loss (vs. Real Madrid). As usual, Simeone's men have shown impressive defensive skills, with only six goals allowed during the tournament. On top of that, Luis Suárez has been quite impressive in front of goal, scoring nine goals for Los Colchoneros.

Sevilla will make it to this game in sixth place, but as their rivals, they had to reschedule some of their earlier games this season after a busy summer. The team coached by Julen Lopetegui has won nine of their 16 games, with three draws and four losses completing their tally. Youssef En-Nesyri is the team's top scorer with eight goals so far.
