Atletico Madrid won
Sevilla's perfect start to the La Liga campaign has generated plenty of optimism in Andalusia, but Atletico Madrid arrive at the Sanchez-Pizjuan as clear favorites for good reason. Diego Simeone's side ranks fourth in La Liga by expected goals, a stark contrast to Sevilla's 18th-place standing in the same metric, suggesting the hosts' early results owe more to fortune than sustainable quality. That underlying gap is central to why Atletico are being backed to win this fixture.
Atletico look set to field a strong lineup, with Jan Oblak marshaling the defense and Ademola Lookman offering a proven attacking outlet in behind Antoine Griezmann. Robin Le Normand's ball-playing partnership at the back, combined with Simeone's typically disciplined defensive setup, should give Sevilla few clean sight-of-goal opportunities. The only notable absence is Alexander Sorloth, a factor already reflected in current odds and squad depth assessments.
Sevilla's 2-0-0 record is a small sample size that hasn't yet been tested against top-tier opposition, and this match should provide a clearer read on where they truly stand. Nemesio Diaz's men have had a promising start but face a significant step up in quality here.
For bettors, Atletico Madrid's win at value odds looks the most logical angle, supported by the xG differential and squad depth. A tighter scoreline or Atletico to win with under 2.5 goals could also offer worthwhile value given Simeone's typically conservative approach away from home.

Sevilla have won both league games this season, beating Athletic Club 3-1 away and Rayo Vallecano 2-1 at home, scoring five while conceding two. They're averaging 2.5 goals per game with a perfect points-per-game record, currently sitting third in La Liga. Their attack has looked sharp in transition, though defensive record shows some vulnerability having conceded in both fixtures. Marcao and A. Gonzalez are doubts through injury, potentially weakening central options. Watch for whoever leads the attacking line to continue their early-season scoring form against a talented but stretched Atletico backline.

Atletico Madrid remain unbeaten with a win and a draw, scoring four and conceding two, sitting sixth with two points fewer than Sevilla. Their 2-0 win over Malaga showed defensive solidity, while the 2-2 draw with Villarreal revealed some fragility in defense. Missing Le Normand through suspension is a blow to their backline, and doubts over Sorloth and Alvarez could impact attacking output. Despite these absences, Atletico's overall squad depth and quality make them bookmakers' favorites, with a key attacking outlet expected to lead the line against a Sevilla defense that has already shown cracks.

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid - Match Analysis
Atletico Madrid carry deeper squad quality and have dominated this fixture in recent meetings, winning three of the last four encounters including a 3-0 away win. While Sevilla have looked sharp with two wins from two, bookmakers still price Atletico as favorites at 44.8% given their overall squad strength and superior recent head-to-head record against this exact opponent, even away from home.
Beyond the outright result, Over 2.5 Goals stands out given both teams have scored freely this season and combined goals per game sit at 4.5. Both Teams to Score is another strong angle considering defensive vulnerabilities shown by both sides already. Draw No Bet: Atletico Madrid offers a safer alternative for backing the favorite while protecting against a draw outcome.
Atletico's absence of Le Normand through suspension weakens their defense, while questions over Sorloth and Alvarez could blunt their attacking output. Sevilla also have doubts around Marcao and A. Gonzalez defensively. Both sides carry some fitness concerns, which supports the expectation of an open game with chances at both ends rather than one that's tightly controlled.
