Atletico Madrid travel to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Saturday night to face Sevilla in their next La Liga fixture.
Diego Simeone’s side sit fourth in the table with 57 points, while Sevilla continue to battle near the bottom, sitting 17th with 31 points—just two clear of the drop zone.
Atletico’s recent league form has dipped after back-to-back defeats to Real Madrid and Barcelona, but their impressive 2-0 Champions League win over Barcelona has lifted spirits. Despite the domestic slip-ups, their 12-point cushion over fifth place keeps their top-four position secure.
Atletico Madrid team news
After that midweek European victory, Simeone is expected to rotate his squad and give key players like Antoine Griezmann and Julián Álvarez a rest ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg and the Copa del Rey final.
The visitors have several absences: Koke and Nico González are suspended, while Pablo Barrios and David Hancko are ruled out with muscle problems.
Jan Oblak, José Giménez, and Johnny Cardoso are also doubtful. Alexander Sorloth could lead the line following his recent goal, and youngsters Obed Vargas and Rodrigo Mendoza might see more game time as Simeone looks to manage fatigue during a busy run of fixtures.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup
Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Musso; Molina, Pubill, Lenglet, Ruggeri; Mendoza, Vargas; Almada, Baena, Lookman; Sorloth
When will the match kick off?
