Strong Argentinian flavour spices up Atlético de Madrid vs Sevilla LaLiga clash
This Saturday brings up one of the most exciting and intense duels in LaLiga Santander when Diego Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid host Jorge Sampaoli’s Sevilla FC. Matches between these clubs are always competitive, with two wins apiece and two draws from the past six meetings. Atlético have 42 points in the standings and come into this one after a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu last weekend.
This will be just the third meeting between the two, after each managed one win when Sampaoli coached Sevilla in the 2016/17 season. Both coaches are Argentine and passionate, managing Atlético and Sevilla with their unique styles. Even though neither team is at their best right now, both squads know that their coaches will be fundamental if they’re to achieve success by the end of the season.
This will be a particularly special match for the home fans, as Simeone will become the coach who has overseen the most games as boss of Los Rojiblancos. He will move on to a total of 613 games in charge of the team, ahead of Luis Aragonés with 612. That’s quite a feat for the Argentine, who arrived in 2012 and who is still in his post more than a decade later.
With Mozambican international Reinildo Mandava having suffered a long-term injury, Atlético’s defensive authority will now depend on Stefan Savic, who had a great game in the Madrid Derby against Real Madrid last weekend. Savic will have to stop a Sevilla side that have scored eight goals in the last five games.
