Atletico Madrid – FC Sevilla – This is certainly the most attractive pair of the quarterfinals of the Spanish Cup of Kings, because two teams meet in the European competitions in the last few years. However, this first quarter-final tour of the national cup of Madrid is widely expected in the much better form but also from the second place on the Primera table, while Sevilla is only sixth and has even 13 points less. Let’s say that even their autumn championship preview ended with a home victory at Atletico 2: 0.

All of this data certainly suggests that the Madrid is a big favorite for the semifinals of the Cup of the King, especially because they are in a great series of five victories, while at the same time their rivals are in a big result crisis in Primera. That is why the difference between them has increased to 12 points in the meantime, with the second-placed Atletico already on the best way to secure direct placement in the group phase of the Champions League, while at leading Barcelona there are currently nine points.
Of course this can be compensated by the end of the championship, especially since there are still 19 rounds so that they did not give up in the Atletico camp for the title of the champions of Spain, while they will certainly do their best to keep going further in the Cup of Kraljevo and in The European League, where in the sixteenth finals, they meet a double match with Danish Copenhagen. Let’s just say that coach Simeone is expecting a slight change in the squad against Seville, while only the defender Philipe Luis and the wingman Gaitan are the defender.

In contrast to their next opponents, who are in a great shake of this first quarter-final match of the Cup of Kings, guests from Andalusia to the Spanish capital come after the desperate first four-defeat and single-row series, while only in the Cup entered two routine wins over the second league in Cadiz. Of course this can not be enough for Sevilla fans, especially since they were really expecting even after being replaced by a coach.
However, since the arrival of Berrizza on the bench came the Italian expert Montella, nothing special changed in the Sevilla game so they entered the national defeat of the city’s rivals Betis and last weekend by visiting Alaves. However, at the same time, the fourth Real Madrid was also drawn, so the difference between them still stands at only three points, while fifth Villarreal has two points more than Seville. Let’s just add that the defenders Carrico, Pareja and Escudero do not compete for the injury to this match with Atletico.
