Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid: Sevilla to win
Sevilla’s 2.0 expected goals versus Atletico’s 1.35 gives the home side a clear edge, and the model rates a Sevilla win at 52.5 %.
Both clubs come in with contrasting recent runs – Sevilla bounced back from a narrow loss, while Atletico have been erratic after a heavy defeat. The clash pits Sevilla’s solid home numbers against an Atletico side that has shown defensive lapses.
Robbo's Verdict
The model’s 52.5 % win probability, backed by Sevilla’s higher expected goals and stronger home record, makes a Sevilla victory the logical choice.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Sevilla at 52.5%, the draw at 21.7%, and Atletico Madrid at 25.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Sevilla
Sevilla’s last five league games include a 0‑1 loss at Celta Vigo (A) followed by a 2‑1 home win over Rayo Vallecano and a 3‑1 away victory at Athletic Club. Those two wins show they can score multiple goals and keep a clean sheet, reinforcing the expectation of a home win in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico’s recent form features a 2‑1 away win at Osasuna, a 1‑0 home win over Girona, then a 1‑5 drubbing at Villarreal (A) before a 2‑0 home win over Malaga and a 2‑2 home draw with Villarreal. The heavy loss and low-scoring wins highlight their inconsistency and limited firepower away, which weakens their chance of beating Sevilla.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings Sevilla have won twice (2‑1 on 2026‑04‑11 and 1‑0 on 2024‑02‑11) while Atletico have secured three victories (3‑0 on 2025‑11‑01, 1‑2 on 2025‑04‑06, and 4‑3 on 2024‑12‑08). The head‑to‑head record leans slightly towards Atletico, but Sevilla’s current form and home advantage tip the balance.
