Sevilla to host Atletico Madrid at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in LaLiga matchweek 3 on August 29

Sevilla will host Atletico Madrid at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium on August 29 in matchweek 3 of LaLiga 2026-27, with the home side seeking a third successive league victory and Atletico arriving off a 2-2 draw with Villarreal.

Sevilla opened their league campaign with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano secured by a late spot kick, then followed that with a 3-1 victory against Athletic Club despite limited possession, a run overseen by coach Luis García Plaza. In the Athletic Club game a 23-year-old identified as Oso broke the deadlock early and provided an assist as Sevilla converted their chances efficiently.

Atletico Madrid were held 2-2 by Villarreal after surrendering a one-goal lead and conceding two penalties following defensive errors, a result in the Diego Simeone-led side’s most recent LaLiga outing. Giuliano Simeone delivered the late equaliser in that match; the 23-year-old is expected to operate on Atletico’s right flank and is noted in the preview for his pace.

Squad availability remains mixed: Alfon Gonzalez has returned to training but is not yet confirmed for selection, Alexander Sorloth is injured and unavailable, Robin Le Normand is suspended following a red card in the previous outing, and Julian Alvarez’s availability is described as doubtful.

Projected lineups provided in the preview list Vlachodimos (GK); Iglesias, Sangante, Lopez, Suazo, Agoume, Guiridi; Sierra, Fernandez, Oso; Ure for Sevilla, and Oblak (GK); Pubill, Gimenez, Hancko; Simeone, Koke, Hjulmand, Mendoza, Grimaldo; Lee, Lookman for Atletico Madrid.

The preview notes Sevilla have won six of the last seven meetings between the clubs, a statistic the home side will look to build on while the Diego Simeone-led visitors aim to respond after their draw with Villarreal. The article’s projected outcome favours a narrow home win.

Prediction in the preview is Sevilla 2-1 Atletico Madrid. The contest is scheduled for August 29 at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium and will be broadcast in Spain on Movistar, DAZN and Teledeporte and in the USA on ESPN, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes; viewers can also access the match via FanCode.
