Sevilla vs Atletico: Prediction, H2H and probable lineups — April 11, 2026
Saturday night at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán promises to be a scorcher as Sevilla host Atletico Madrid in Matchday 31 of La Liga. The situation for the home side is dire: they sit 17th, teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Match preview
Sevilla are enduring one of their worst seasons in recent history. The Andalusians have mustered just 31 points so far, leading relegation-threatened Elche by only two. The squad situation ahead of Atletico is nothing short of disastrous: Cluysen Agoumé and José Ángel Carmona are suspended, while the injury list is packed with names like Djibril Sow, Marcao, and Tanguy Nianzou. The head coach is forced to patch up holes in defense and midfield with rotation players—a potentially fatal flaw against Simeone’s disciplined attack.
Atletico Madrid currently hold fourth place with 57 points. Diego Simeone’s side have shown their trademark pragmatism in 2026, but they’ve also had setbacks: two crucial league defeats, first to Real Madrid (2-3), then to Barcelona (1-2). The main concern for the visitors is the absence of Jan Oblak due to a muscle injury. Pablo Barrios and Koke are also unavailable (suspension), weakening the midfield. Still, the attacking partnership of Griezmann and Sørloth remains a major threat for any La Liga defense.
Tactically, Sevilla will be forced to play on the back foot, relying on a compact defense and rare counterattacks. Atletico, on the other hand, will aim to control the tempo and leverage their physical edge on set pieces.
Probable lineups
Sevilla: Vlachodimos — Carmona, Gudelj, Salas, Suazo — Mendy, Sow, Vargas — J. Sanchez, Adams, A. Sanchez
Atletico: Musso — Llorente, Le Normand, Gimenez, Hancko, Ruggeri — Gallagher, De Paul, Baena — Alvarez, Lookman
