When is Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid?

The Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid match will be played on Sunday, 6 April at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Both teams will lock horns in an exciting La Liga encounter.

As compared to the last few seasons, Sevilla are performing much better this season and will look to finish as high as possible in the points table. Even though their management's expectations are a bit high, but they will still be satisfied with a mid-table finish at the end of the season.

They are a decent side who are capable of making things difficult for the Roje Blancos on Sunday. In 29 games, they have won nine, drawn nine and lost 11 games with 36 points on the table, they are 11th in the league. They will look to kick Atletico out of the league title race, as Simone's men are already a bit behind in the title race. Despite playing at home, they will have to be at their best to at least get a draw.

This season has been full of ups and downs for Deigo Simeone's men as they were kicked out of the Champions League and have fallen behind in the title race in just a couple of weeks. Unlike last season, it was looking like the title race will go till the end, but as of now, things are looking complicated for the Roje Blancos.

In their last game they dropped points against Espanyol as the game ended in a 1-1 scoreline. In 29 games, they have won 16 games, drawn nine games and lost four matches till now, with 57 points on the table they are nine points behind Barcelona and six points behind Real Madrid. They will have to win rest of the matches to at least stay in the title race. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.
