Sevilla vs Atlético de Madrid

Sevilla welcome Atlético Madrid to the Sánchez-Pizjuán for a matchday-three clash that already carries plenty of intrigue this early in the season. Both sides opened with wins, and for Sevilla, life under new coach Luis García Plaza is about building distance from last term's relegation scare, while Atlético Madrid are chasing fresh momentum under Diego Simeone after five trophyless seasons and a fourth-place finish. Sevilla edged past Rayo Vallecano 2-1, with penalties from Jon Guridi and Peque Fernández cancelling out an early strike by Álvaro García. Atlético Madrid were also 2-0 winners, over Málaga, thanks to a stunning debut goal from substitute Lee Kang-in and a late free-kick from Alex Baena. With Antoine Griezmann gone and Julián Álvarez still building fitness after the World Cup final, the visitors' attack has a new look. Historically Atlético Madrid lead the head-to-head 71-56, though Sevilla have the better record at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, winning 13 of 26 meetings there. Our prediction: 1-2.
