Sevilla will host Atlético Madrid at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on April 11, 2026, in a pivotal La Liga encounter. Currently, Atlético Madrid sits in fourth place with 57 points, while Sevilla struggles in 17th place with just 31 points, only two points above the relegation zone.
Atlético Madrid boasts a comfortable 12-point cushion over the fifth-placed team, but their recent form has raised concerns. The absence of key players Koke and Nico González due to suspension, along with injuries to Pablo Barrios and David Hancko, could impact their performance. Additionally, Jan Oblak, José Giménez, and Johnny Cardoso are doubtful for the match, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the squad.
On the other hand, Sevilla, led by Akor Adams, who has scored seven goals in 25 games, is in desperate need of points to secure their La Liga status. The match will kick off at 8pm BST, and fans in the UK can catch the action live on Disney+.
In their previous encounter, Sevilla managed to defeat Atlético Madrid 2-1, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure. This victory was crucial for Sevilla, who have historically been strong competitors in European competitions, winning seven Europa Leagues in the past two decades.
The average age of Atlético Madrid’s players in that match was just 23, highlighting a youthful squad that may struggle against a seasoned Sevilla side eager to climb out of the relegation battle. The stakes are high for both teams, with Atlético aiming to solidify their Champions League position and Sevilla fighting for survival.
As the match approaches, observers are keen to see how Atlético Madrid will cope without their suspended and injured players. Meanwhile, Sevilla’s performance will be closely watched as they seek to build on their recent victory over their rivals.
