Spanish Copa del Rey Final betting - Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla

Atletico Madrid may have won the Europa League but face a much tougher contest tonight as they take on Sevilla in the final of the Copa del Rey. Fulham may have overcome some illustrious teams on their path to Europe`s second-tier club competition but were always punching above their weight. Sevilla, however, finished fourth in La Liga and eliminated Barcelona en route to tonight`s final.

The bookmakers have made Sevilla slight favourites for what is expected to be an even and open game, offering 8/5 (bet £50 to win £80 profit), with Madrid at 19/10 and the draw at 23/10. Although Atletico`s form seems questionable, with only two wins from six matches, they have been resting players in anticipation of tonight`s clash, with the reserve team fielded in Saturday`s 3-0 home defeat to Getafe a shining example.

Sevilla have won four of their last six in all competitions but perhaps the most telling piece of form is the 3-1 win they enjoyed over Atletico at the beginning of the month. Although they may be without Luis Fabiano tonight, who opened the scoring, they will believe there is no reason they cannot repeat that performance.

A 1-1 draw is the favourite score at 6/1 tonight as the teams are seen as being very evenly matched with quality all over the pitch. 1-0 to Sevilla is next at 15/2, with 1-0 to Atletico only very slightly longer at 8/1 with Sportingbet and 0-0 at 10/1 with the same firm. Another 3-1 with for Sevilla is 28/1 and the fact that the same score in favour of Madrid is at the same shows just how tight this final could be.

Sevilla`s top scorer Luis Fabiano is a doubt for tonight`s game due an injury that has troubled him for a large part of the season. He is 5/1 with Bet365 to open the scoring tonight but a better option may be Atletico`s Diego Forlan at 6/1 with Ladbrokes, who scored their late winner against Fulham, or Frederic Kanoute of Sevilla who is generally available at the same price.

Victor Chandler offer 4/1 that Sevilla lead tonight at both the interval and the final whistle and the same price is generally available for both halves to be drawn, with Totesport best price on Atletico/Atletico at 9/2.

Sevilla are odds-on at 4/5 to win the Copa del Rey while Madrid are 11/10 to complete what would have seemed a very unlikely double at the start of the season.
