Sun Apr 06 14:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Atlético Madrid Faces Sevilla in Crucial La Liga Clash
**Seville, Spain** – Atlético Madrid, struggling for form, faces a tough test against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium today in a pivotal La Liga match. Kick-off is at 4:15 PM local time.
The match pits third-placed Atlético against eleventh-placed Sevilla, both teams needing a win for different reasons. Atlético, winless in La Liga since March 1st, are coming off a 2-4 defeat to Barcelona and a 1-1 draw with Espanyol. Their recent Copa del Rey semi-final loss to Barcelona further adds to their woes. Manager Diego Simeone has made four changes to his starting XI, with Gimenez and De Paul out, and Lenglet and Gallagher in.
Sevilla, meanwhile, are on a two-game losing streak following defeats to Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis. However, they boast a strong home advantage and will field a team including new signing Akor Adams and captain Loïc Badé.
The first leg of this fixture, played on December 8th, 2024, saw Atlético win a thrilling 4-3 victory, with Antoine Griezmann scoring a brace, including the winning goal in stoppage time. Today’s match promises to be another exciting encounter, refereed by Cesar Soto Grado. Early action saw Lukebakio create the first corner for Atlético.
