Sevilla Atlético are in great form as of late. This can be witnessed through the results and the league position in the last few weeks. Curiously enough, all of this has occurred just when the calendar was looking more than complicated, this compounded with the numerous absentees in the first team which forced Lopetegui to draw on the reserve team players to complete his latest team sheets. However, that 'never surrender' attitude isn't just the motto of the first team, but it forms part of the DNA throughout the Sevilla FC hierarchy.
Things didn't start off too well for the team in the first 10 league games, the boys only managed to tally five points and were seven points away from safety. A run of form that began to change midway through November with a hard-fought draw at home against Andorra, the clear favourites for the league. From there on, the team found lift-off racking up 19 out of a possible 24. In those 8 games, there has been six wins, a draw at Castilla and one defeat at Linares. Having closed the gap, the team is now level on points with the teams just outside the relegation places and with a game in-hand over three of those above, a win in the derby game against Betis Deportivo will see Sevilla Atlético climb above them.
In this amazing run, the reserves have overcome leaders Villarreal B, Albacete who sit in third and Baleares, who are fourth. All of that alongside the already mentioned draw against second-placed Andorra. The reserves' next opponents are fifth-placed CD Castellón on Sunday at 17:00 PM at the Jesús Navas Stadium. A challenge awaits as Alejandro Acejo's side have taken 12 of the last 18 points and have not lost since the 17th of October.
