2024-25 Spanish La Liga
Matchday 30
Sevilla v Atletico Madrid
Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan
Seville, Spain
Sunday, 6 April 2025
Kick-off is at 16h15
Atletico Madrid will be desperate to snap a three-match winless run in
La Liga when they lock horns with Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday, April 6.
Los Colchoneros saw their title aspirations suffer a damaging blow with back-to-back defeats against Getafe (2-1) and Barcelona (4-2) before the international break.
Diego Simeone's side were then held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol on March 29, which left them six points behind Real Madrid (2nd) and a further three adrift of league leaders Barca in third place.
Atletico were fortunate that Athletic Bilbao failed to capitalise on their situation after also picking up a point in a 0-0 stalemate with Osasuna to stay four points behind them in fourth spot.

The Andalusian outfit have dropped out of the top 10 after picking up just five points from their last five outings.
Garcia Pimienta's side tasted defeat in the Seville derby for the first time in 12 meetings as they lost 2-1 to city neighbours Real Betis on March 30.
Sevilla find themselves level with Getafe (12th) on 36 points and two behind Real Sociedad (10th) in 11th place and they'll be looking for an improved performance on home soil after going down 4-3 to Atleti in the reverse fixture.
Pimienta felt that Betis' second goal on the stroke of half-time changed the context of the game and was disappointed that his team couldn't build on their early lead.
"When you lose, you haven't done things right. It's a shame, because we went out onto the pitch with things very clear, knowing what we were going to find and that we could hurt them on the counter, as was the case with the goal and a few other moments," the Spaniard said.
"It's a pity we couldn't hold on to that 1-0 lead and I think what was crucial was that second goal before half-time. You can't let them score that second goal in stoppage time, because it defines the second half."
Simeone needs both the Blaugrana and Los Blancos to slip up in the run-in, but remains adamant that the title race will only be decided in the final month of the campaign.
"As for the title, La Liga is decided in the last five matches. Those teams who still have a chance at that stage of the season are the ones who will compete for the ultimate goal of the trophy," the Argentine said.
