Sevilla - Atletico Madrid

Sevilla host Atletico Madrid at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan on 29 August 2026 for this matchday 3 LaLiga clash, testing whether the hosts can maintain their perfect start to the campaign. Sevilla enter the fixture in high spirits following a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao and a narrow win against Rayo Vallecano. The expected XI features Robbie Ure leading the line, supported by a dense midfield block including Jon Guridi and Peque. With Gabriel Suazo and Arouna Sangante anchoring the defensive unit, the home side aims to control the tempo against a formidable opponent.

Atletico Madrid arrive seeking a return to winning ways after being held to a 2-2 draw by Villarreal. The visitors face significant personnel challenges, with Robin Le Normand sidelined through suspension and Morten Hjulmand unavailable due to injury. Managerial plans likely hinge on the creativity of Kang-In Lee and Ademola Lookman to disrupt the Sevilla structure. Recent history between these clubs remains competitive, as seen in their 2-1 meeting on 11 April 2026, and the visitors will look to Jan Oblak to provide stability at the back in a high-stakes encounter.
