Atletico Madrid will entertain Sevilla at Metropolitano Stadium in La Liga on Saturday. Atletico have five wins from 10 league games, one more than the visitors, but have a six-point lead.
The hosts are unbeaten in the league since a loss to Espanyol in their campaign opener. They lost 4-0 to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday and bounced back with a 2-0 away triumph over Real Betis in La Liga on Monday. Giuliano Simeone broke the deadlock in the third minute, and Álex Baena doubled their lead in stoppage time of the first half.
Palanganas have seen a drop in form, and they have lost their two games after the international break. They met Real Sociedad in their previous outing last week and fell to a 2-1 away loss. They met Toledo in the Copa del Rey first round on Tuesday, and registered a 4-1 win. Adnan Januzaj bagged a brace in that win.

Pablo Barrios will miss this match after being injured against Betis on Monday. Diego Simeone will likely start Johnny Cardoso, who has missed the last nine games, in place of Barrios here.
Los Hispalenses have lost their last two league games, scoring one goal apiece in both, and will look to improve upon that record. Interestingly, they have scored at least once in each of their 10 league games this season.
Alexis Sánchez, César Azpilicueta, and Batista Mendy will miss this match due to injuries, while Lucien Agoumé will serve a suspension here.
