Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid – Match preview and team news

Atletico Madrid travels away from home as they visit Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for their next La Liga encounter against Sevilla on Saturday.

Sevilla FC approach this highly anticipated La Liga fixture in excellent shape, boasting a near full-strength squad with minimal disruptions.

Manager Luis García Plaza is heavily boosted by the timely return of defender Kike Salas, who is available for selection once again after serving a suspension.

Having built substantial early-season momentum from an impressive 3-1 away victory against Athletic Bilbao, the team remains stable in personnel, though Alfon González faces a late fitness test regarding a quadriceps issue.

In-form forward Robbie Ure, a major summer signing, is expected to spearhead the attack. He will be closely supported by the creative winger Oso, who delivered a standout performance in their last outing.

With confidence surging through the squad, the Andalusian side is fully prepared to protect their strong home record at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

Atlético de Madrid travel to Seville facing severe selection dilemmas due to an accumulation of injuries and suspensions.

Star forward Julián Álvarez has been officially ruled out by Diego Simeone after missing multiple training sessions because of illness, a situation compounded by ongoing transfer speculation.

The frontline is further depleted with striker Alexander Sørloth sidelined by a frustrating muscle injury.

Defensively, the mattress makers must cope without core central defender Robin Le Normand, who is serving a suspension following his red card in the recent 2-2 draw with Villarreal CF.

Consequently, Simeone is forced to reshuffle his starting lineup. The pressure falls on Ademola Lookman to lead the attacking frontline alongside Lee Kang-in. Meanwhile, reliable figures Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, and Álex Baena are heavily expected to step up and steady the midfield.

Sevilla FC are in red-hot form, starting their La Liga campaign with a perfect six points from two matches. They opened the season by securing a dramatic, last-second 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano. They followed that up with a dominant 3-1 away triumph against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés. Displaying relentless high pressing and explosive counterattacking transition speed, Sevilla sit second in the league table, brimming with confidence ahead of their clash at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Atlético de Madrid enter this match looking stable yet slightly frustrated, sitting fifth with four points. Diego Simeone’s squad kicked off their season with a controlled 2-0 home victory against Málaga CF. However, they dropped points in their second match, fighting out a chaotic 2-2 draw with Villarreal CF despite logging high shot volumes.

Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Iglesias, Sangante, Salas, Suazo; Guridi, Agoume; Sierra, Fernandez, Oso; Ure

Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Llorente, Hancko, Pubill, Grimaldo; Barrios, Koke; Simeone, Kang-in, Baena; Lookman
