ATL vs SEV Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Atletico Madrid can secure a second place finish for the second consecutive season when they play host to Sevilla in the La Liga at Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night (IST).

ATL vs SEV Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Los Colchoneros suffered a shock 3-0 defeat against Espanyol last time around, but will be guaranteed to finish above city rivals Real Madrid if they avoid a defeat against Sevilla at home.

Indeed, Diego Simeone will be happy to finish above Madrid for the second consecutive season, but for the squad which boasts players like Antoine Griezmann, Jan Oblak and Saul Niguez, to name a few, the mere second place won’t satiate their thirst for the top prizes.

Two rounds of matches left to play in #LaLigaSantander…
