Match Overview
Atletico Madrid and Sevilla face each other in the quarterfinal of the Copa del Rey on Thursday in Madrid. The home team will feel that they can get the better of the visiting side solely due to the strength they have in their roster. They need to make sure that they do not allow their opponents to come onto the front foot or take an early advantage when the game begins.
Key Highlights
Atletico have been unbeaten in the last nineteen matches that they have played at home, and this will give them a lot of confidence. They will want to ensure that their defenders remain on top of their games throughout and do not make silly errors at all. This will allow their players to express themselves with a lot of freedom and not make silly mistakes when put under pressure.
Injury Report
Vitolo, Thomas Lemar and Marcos Paulo will be missing in action for Atletico in this game whereas for Sevilla, Marcos Acuna and Kike Salas may be ruled out due to injury.
Prediction
Neither Atletico Madrid nor Sevilla appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. While Sevilla have some good midfielders in their ranks, they have to make sure that they play without being afraid of what the home team are going to offer. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Sevilla are known to be a side who can push teams out of their comfort zones and the same can be expected in this game.
