Atletico Madrid will visit the Estadio de la Cartuja on Monday evening, setting the stage for a compelling La Liga contest against Real Betis.
Both teams are currently even on 16 points from nine matches, following similar paths this season with four victories, four draws, and just one defeat apiece.
The stakes in this fixture are high as both teams chase a position in the Champions League places.
Diego Simeone’s side makes the trip to Seville hoping to recover from a heavy 4-0 setback in the Champions League against Arsenal on Tuesday. That result snapped a six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions and highlighted defensive issues.
Simeone was candid in his post-match remarks, admitting Arsenal simply outclassed Atletico after the interval. He pointed to individual mistakes, rather than misfortune, that allowed Viktor Gyokeres to score twice for the Premier League side, alongside efforts from Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli.
In terms of team news, midfielder Johnny Cardoso has resumed training following an ankle injury. He may be fit enough to feature from the bench. Cardoso’s availability offers a timely boost to Atletico’s midfield, having missed out on recent matches due to his injury.
With Cardoso back, the Atletico squad boasts a clean bill of health, giving Simeone ample options for his starting eleven. Up front, Julian Alvarez stands out as the club’s key attacking threat, having registered six goals in nine league appearances to rank as La Liga’s joint second-top scorer. Alvarez will likely be joined in attack by Antoine Griezmann, while Thiago Almada—fresh from his match-winning goal against Osasuna—adds creative quality to the midfield setup.
Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Le Normand, Hancko; Barrios, Koke, Gonzalez; Griezmann, Alvarez, Almada
The match will kick off at 9pm BST on Monday, 27th October.
