Two of La Liga’s most competitive sides meet at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Matchday 3, with both Sevilla and Atletico Madrid sitting on 6 and 4 points respectively after perfect and near-perfect starts to the 2026/27 season. Sevilla enter this one on a genuine high, having won both league games and posting five goals, but the visitors have Diego Simeone’s fingerprints all over their early-season structure. The last time these two met at this ground, Sevilla won 2-1 despite being heavy underdogs on paper, so the odds tilting toward Atletico does not tell the whole story.
Midfielder Jon Guridi has been quietly influential for Sevilla, contributing a goal and carrying a yellow card risk with two bookings in his last two appearances, making him a player who both creates and disrupts. For Atletico, Lee Kang-In leads the visitors in shots with 11 across four appearances while also adding a goal, giving him an outsized threat profile from midfield positions. A hot stat worth highlighting: Atletico Madrid registered 63 total shots across their last five matches compared to Sevilla’s 20, a ratio that underlines how much Simeone’s side dominates attacking volume regardless of opponent quality.

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid are the bookmakers’ pick at around 2.10 across most books, and the underlying stats back that lean. Their shot volume, interception count (37 vs Sevilla’s 19), and free kick count (50 vs 28) all point to a team that physically controls matches. Sevilla have been effective at home, but their five goals in five recent games came partly against weaker opposition, including Utrecht and Nijmegen. Atletico’s only recent poor result was a 3-1 loss to Manchester City, which is hardly a damning indicator.
Sevilla’s 4-2-3-1 under Luis Garcia Plaza gives them a compact defensive shape, but Atletico’s 4-4-2 generates wide overloads that the home side’s full-backs will struggle to contain. Sevilla committed 34 fouls in five games, Atletico 69, which tells you Simeone’s side press aggressively and accept the card risk. With eight yellow cards each and one red card apiece, both teams carry disciplinary heat, meaning the referee will have work to do. Atletico’s free kick threat is real: they scored one directly from a set piece in their last five matches, and their 19 corners to Sevilla’s 4 shows where territorial pressure will come from.
- We predict Atletico Madrid to win at approximately 2.10-2.13 (available at Spinbetter, BCGame, Roobet, Betfury, and others).
- The volume difference in shots and corners strongly supports an Atletico win, and their away form over the last 30 days (50% winrate across six games including wins over Marseille and Malaga) is acceptable for a road favourite.
- Sevilla’s home advantage is real but their squad depth and shot creation lag significantly behind Simeone’s side at this stage of the season.

Team Analysis
Sevilla arrive in fine domestic form after winning both La Liga openers, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 and Athletic Bilbao 3-1 in their most recent fixture. The Athletic win is the most telling result: Athletic carried a strong recent run of their own, yet Sevilla handled them comfortably. Joaquín Martínez Gauna contributed both a goal and an assist across the two league games, giving Sevilla a goal threat from a deeper position. Their one blemish in recent weeks was a 1-2 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, a top-tier European opponent, which exposed the limits of their defensive line under pressure from elite forwards. Pass accuracy is modest at 440 completed passes from 603 attempts across five games, suggesting they are direct rather than possession-based.
Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 with Villarreal in their most recent outing, which is their only dropped point in La Liga so far. Prior to that, they beat Malaga 2-0 in the league and Marseille 2-1 in European competition. Their loss to Manchester City (1-3) and Manchester United (1-2) in earlier fixtures came against two of the strongest clubs in Europe, so context matters. Across five games, they accumulated 2,285 passes with 1,984 accurate, a pass accuracy rate that dwarfs Sevilla’s, reflecting a possession-oriented system that also presses high. Rodrigo Mendoza leads their shot tally with eight attempts and a goal, while Arnau Ortiz and Carlos Martín Domínguez provide additional goal threat from forward positions.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Atletico Madrid the Favourite
- Moneyline Sevilla 3.50–3.70 | Atletico Madrid 2.01–2.44
- Draw 3.00–3.56
- Over/Under Over 2.5 approx. 1.80–1.95 | Under 2.5 approx. 1.85–2.00
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes approx. 1.75–1.90 | No approx. 1.90–2.05
Atletico at 2.10-2.13 represents genuine value given their shot dominance and historical head-to-head record. The draw odds sitting around 3.30-3.43 are not particularly attractive given how both sides have played attacking football early in the season. Sevilla at 3.50+ would only be interesting if you weight their home advantage heavily, but the underlying stats do not support backing them at this stage. Over 2.5 looks the most straightforward secondary market given the average of 4 goals per head-to-head meeting across the last four fixtures.
Possible Starting Lineups
Sevilla Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Odysseas Vlachodimos
- DF: Arouna Sangante, Andrés Castrín, Juan Antonio Iglesias Sánchez, Joaquín Martínez Gauna
- MF: Lucien Agoumé, Gabriel Suazo, Jon Guridi
- FW: Peque Fernández, Isaac Romero, Chidera Ejuke
Luis Garcia Plaza has been consistent with his 4-2-3-1, and this lineup reflects the players with the most minutes across the last two league games. Vlachodimos is the clear first-choice goalkeeper with eight saves in two appearances. Arouna Sangante and Andrés Castrín form a steady defensive pairing, while Joaquín Martínez Gauna is the most dynamic full-back option given his goal and assist contributions. Jon Guridi carries the biggest individual threat from midfield, and Isaac Romero leads the line having scored and assisted in recent weeks. Ejuke and Peque Fernández provide width and directness, though Peque’s foul rate (four bookings risk) is a concern against a physical Atletico midfield.
Atletico Madrid Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Jan Oblak
- DF: Dávid Hancko, Robin Le Normand, José María Giménez, Alejandro Grimaldo
- MF: Morten Hjulmand, Koke, Lee Kang-In, Rodrigo Mendoza
- FW: Arnau Ortiz, Carlos Martín Domínguez
Simeone’s 4-4-2 has been his preferred structure across all five recent matches. Jan Oblak starts in goal with 15 saves across five appearances, still one of the best shot-stoppers in the league. Dávid Hancko is arguably the most complete player in this squad right now, leading all defenders in interceptions (6), passes (299), and contributing an assist, making him the defensive pillar. Le Normand and Giménez provide physicality centrally. Lee Kang-In’s shot volume from midfield makes him the primary creator to watch, and Rodrigo Mendoza adds direct running and goals from the right. Alejandro Baena, who scored and assisted in his two appearances, could push for inclusion depending on Simeone’s attacking intent.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Atletico Madrid are the stronger side on almost every measurable metric heading into this match. Their shot volume (63 vs 20 across five games), passing accuracy, corner count (19 vs 4), and interception numbers all point to a team that dominates possession and territory. Sevilla’s home record gives them a psychological edge, and their 2-1 win here last season as underdogs cannot be dismissed, but that result bucked the trend rather than set one.
We predict Atletico Madrid to win this match, most likely by a one or two-goal margin. Both teams scoring is probable given Sevilla’s attacking intent at home and Atletico’s willingness to press high rather than sit deep. The total goals market over 2.5 looks well-supported by historical meetings and current form. To be honest, backing Atletico at around 2.10-2.13 is the clearest value in this fixture, and pairing it with BTTS Yes gives a solid combination for those looking at a double.
