Atl. Madrid vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-31 15:15.
[p]Atlético Madrid will look to build on their strong home form in La Liga as Sevilla travel to the capital searching for answers to a recent slump.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Two goals before half-time gave Atlético Madrid a comfortable 2-0 win against Betis on Monday for their first away victory of this campaign, and served as the perfect way to respond after a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League last week. The result also stretched their unbeaten run in La Liga to nine matches (W5, D4), keeping Diego Simeone’s men just three points shy of second-placed Barcelona pre-round. Atleti ought to be confident of at least maintaining that gap considering that they’ve won eight of their last nine home league fixtures (D1), scoring 3+ goals six times therein.[/p]
[p]Sevilla will hope a midweek 4-1 victory over lower-league Toledo helps spark a turnaround in their La Liga form, which has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks. A 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad last Friday was their second La Liga loss in a row and saw them drop out of the top half, yet such have been their struggles in recent years, this is Sevilla’s best ten-game start to a La Liga season since 2021/22. MatĂas Almeyda’s men are likely to see the road as the perfect destination to get back on track as they’d won three successive La Liga trips prior to that Sociedad defeat.[/p]
