Match preview

Atlético Madrid's title defence certainly hasn't gone to plan, but they have now qualified for the Champions League.

On Wednesday night, their top four spot was secured by a 2-0 victory over Elche at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.

Matheus Cunha and then Rodrgio De Paul the scorers in Elx.

Having also beaten champions Real Madrid in el Derbi Madrileño last Sunday night, Diego Simeone's side cannot be caught by fifth-placed Betis.

Now, with their remaining two games both against teams from the top six, will los Colchoneros enjoy a strong finish to an underwhelming campaign?

Sevilla meanwhile are just one place and one point below their hosts, but still have work to do if they're to join Atleti in the Champions League.

Los Nervionenses have endured three successive draws, following Wednesday's stalemate at home to relegation-threatened Mallorca.

Overall in fact, Julen Lopetegui's side have drawn ten of their last 16 La Liga matches, winning four and only losing twice in November.

So, Sevilla are five points clear of city-rivals Real Betis, needing just another draw from their final two games due to their superior head-to-head record.

Will there be a winner at the Wanda Metropolitano?

Atlético Madrid team news

Despite injuries to Thomas Lemar and João Félix, Diego Simeone still has plenty of attacking talent at his disposal.

Matheus Cunha and Antoine Griezmann led the line against Elche and could continue to do so, chosen over Ángel Correa and Luis Suárez.

Héctor Herrera came off the bench in that match; this'll be his final home game for Atleti before joining Houston Dynamo.

However, the Mexican could remain a substitute with Rodrigo De Paul and Geoffrey Kondogbia the midfield duo.

Šime Vrsaljko could keep his place at right-back, chosen over Daniel Wass, despite the Croatian's recent underwhelming displays.

Sevilla team news

Anthony Martial came off the bench on Wednesday night after over a month out due to injury.

With Sevilla goal-shy, despite the fact the Frenchman is only on loan, Martial could lead he line, chosen over Rafa Mir and Youssef En-Nesyri.

Tecatito Corona, Érik Lamela and Papu Gómez were just in-behind the striker for that goalless draw with Mallorca.

However, Ivan Rakitić and Lucas Ocampos are almost certainly going to return for this one.
