Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla prediction, odds and preview

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to book a place in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey when they host Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday night.

The hosts beat Real Madrid 4-2 in extra time in the last 16 at home, while a 3-1 result was enough to clinch a quarter-final spot for Sevilla over Getafe.

Diego Simeone’s side will be full of confidence moving into this clash knowing they are unbeaten in their last five matches against the visitors, winning thrice and drawing twice in the process.

Sevilla however have been far from convincing this season with two wins in their last six matches in all competitions, yet, Los Palanganas could surprise the hosts as the Spanish Cup always presents unexpected results.

Atletico Madrid are expected to rely on Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata in attack for this game.

Meanwhile, Sevilla will be missing out on the services of Youssef En-Nesyri who is on international duty with Morocco at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The match starts at 20:00 GMT.
