Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla prediction 01.11.2025 | La Liga

Atletico Madrid knows best how hard it is to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. The team from Metropolitano Stadium ended third or fourth in every one of the last four matches, and it seems that the same fate could happen in the current campaign, too, as Atletico Madrid are already eight points behind the league leader, Real Madrid. Simeone's team is playing well lately, as they have lost only one of the previous eight matches in all competitions. In the most recent outing, Atletico Madrid won 2-0 on the road against Betis.

Diego Simeone was very pleased with his team's victory against Betis. He said, "We played a great game, especially in the first half, we performed very well and took a 2-0 lead. After the break, we couldn't continue our precise play from the first half, but we managed to keep the score. This is an important victory for us and for our position in the La Liga standings."

Atletico Madrid's Pablo Barrios suffered an injury in the previous La Liga round and he will not play on Saturday. The midfielder could be the only absence for Simeone's squad.

Last season, Sevilla narrowly avoided relegation, an experience Los Rojiblancos have no intention of repeating. The current campaign seems better as they have collected 13 points and are a mid-table team after ten league rounds. However, back-to-back league defeats raised some concerns. Sevilla regained momentum with a 4-1 win on the road in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night. The home side got an early lead, but the guests dominated the rest of the match and progressed to the next phase. 

Sevilla's head coach, Matias Almeyda, rotated the squad for the cup tie against Toledo, but we should expect the best possible starting lineup at Metropolitano Stadium. 

Sevilla have big problems with missing players. They will be without Lucien Agoume, Cesar Azpilicueta, Alvaro Fernandez, Joan Jordan, Batista Mendy, and Tanguy Nianzou on Saturday afternoon in Madrid.
