• Atletico Madrid have won their last three games against Sevilla with an aggregate score of 9-1.

• Atleti have won 12 of their 14 home games across all comps this season, drawing the other two.

Atleti can make light work of Sevilla

Atletico Madrid entertain Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Thursday and the hosts should be able to win fairly comfortably.

Los Colchoneros are unbeaten at home this season, with 12 wins in 14 games, and they have a strong record against Sevilla – winning each of the last three meetings with an aggregate score of 9-1.

Atleti won 1-0 when they hosted Sevilla in La Liga in December but they played the final 20 minutes of that game with 10 men and given the form of both sides coming into this game they may be able to win a little more convincingly on Thursday, so a home win with a -1 handicap looks a good option for our main bet.

Sevilla have lost six of their last 10 away games and their four wins during that period have come against lower ranked teams in this competition, twice, as well as La Liga strugglers Granada and Getafe – where they were arguably lucky.

Atletico are a formidable outfit at home and Sevilla were thumped 5-1 at Girona in their last trip, so Atleti may be able to win with some room to spare here.

Atleti kept a clean sheet when they hosted Sevilla in the league in December and managed a shut-out in a 1-0 win at Granada in their last game. They might be able to keep their opponents at bay again as Sevilla are without leading scorer Youssef En Nesyri due to AFCON duty, so a 3-0 win for the hosts is the correct score prediction.

Alvaro Morata has scored in back-to-back games for Atleti and he looks the best contender for an anytime goal.
