Sevilla and Atletico Madrid will determine the second finalist for the Copa del Rey. The first match of the tournament between these two teams ended in a 2-1 score for Atletico and Sevilla now has the difficult task to make up the difference of 1 goal. The matches between these two teams are very tight in recent years, as Sevilla has 10 wins, while Atletico has won 9 times.
This season Sevilla relies heavily on home matches, where the team shows very good results. The team, however, is performing terribly as a guest, hence the unenviable 12th position in the standings in Primera Division. This season at home, Sevilla even managed to beat Real Madrid. The leader Barcelona was rather lucky in its visit to Sevilla as the team was losing the match with 2-0, but goals in the last minutes of the game brought the victory to the Catalans. Medel`s red card made a big impact on the outcome of this meeting and if the player was not sent off, Sevilla probably would have beaten Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid deservedly occupies the second place in the standings in the Primera Division. The team maintains a really high level of play, but some bad words can be said about "Rojiblancos" performance as a guest. The team was unable to find its style of play in its away matches against the top teams in the Primera Division. Overall in Spain, the home advantage is of high importance and no doubt Sevilla will be more aggressive in this meeting. However, Sevilla should catch up in the result, but well made counterattacks by Atletico, led by the incredible Falcao, can resolve this dispute.
The meeting is expected to be extremely tight.
