Atletico Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they conclude their 2023 with a home match against a struggling Sevilla on Saturday afternoon.
This game was originally due to take place in September, but it had to be postponed due to bad weather in the Madrid area, with both sides playing catch-up in terms of La Liga matches since.
Diego Simeone's side were actually 3-1 ahead against Getafe last time out entering the latter stages of the contest, but the visitors netted twice in the final exchanges to secure a share of the spoils, and Atletico now sit fourth in the table, boasting 35 points from their opening 17 matches of the campaign.
The Red and Whites are level on points with fifth-placed Athletic, while they are nine from leaders Girona, who are in action on Thursday evening away to Real Betis, before second-placed Real Madrid visit Alaves.
Simeone's side need to look after their own form, though, and there is a lot for the club to look forward to next year, particularly the Champions League round of 16, with the Madrid outfit drawn against Italian giants Inter Milan.
