Sevilla vs Atlético Madrid prediction

THE FORECAST

Sevilla is starting the season strongly with two victories and an average of 2.5 goals per match, while home advantage at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán carries significant weight. Atletico Madrid is dealing with a major injury crisis — Sorloth, Julián Álvarez, Le Normand, Barrios and supposedly Llorente are absent — which considerably affects the depth of the squad and limits attacking power. The heat (up to 35°C) in Sevilla can hamper Atletico's pressing football, but also doesn't overly benefit Sevilla; the balance tips due to the injury problems on the away side.
