Sevilla - Atletico Madrid: Prediction, facts, betting tips and H2H - August 29, 2026
On Saturday, August 29, Sevilla will host Atletico Madrid in the third round of La Liga. The match will kick off at 21:30 CET, and I have a betting tip for this game.
Sevilla - Atletico: Match Preview
Sevilla have made an excellent start to the new La Liga season, beating Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Bilbao in their first two matches. The Andalusian side are now aiming to win their first three league games for the first time since the 2006/07 season. Last season, Sevilla finished 13th with 43 points from 38 matches. They finished eight points behind the European places. This season, the team will clearly try to compete for European qualification, and this strong start could give them confidence.
After beating Malaga 2-0 in the opening round, Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 with Villarreal on Sunday. Despite playing with ten men and being behind on the scoreboard, Los Colchoneros managed to rescue a point thanks to a late goal from Giuliano Simeone. Dropping points so early in the season is certainly not ideal. Last season, Atletico finished fourth in La Liga, while also reaching the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League semi-finals. However, they fell short in both competitions.
