Simeone and co. are as short as 6/1 to win a second league title in five years.
In a night of shock results in La Liga, a lacklustre Real Madrid were thrashed 3-0 at Sevilla whilst Barcelona gave expected relegation battlers Leganes their first win of the season.

The manner of the defeats stood out and in turn, punters have looked elsewhere in the La Liga winner market.
Last year’s Europa League winners are the obvious danger and have received 48.8% of bets on La Liga in the last 24 hours and they have been cut to as short as 6/1. Atletico Madrid endured a low start to the season but have picked up of late, winning their last two games to nil.
Their manager, Diego Simeone, is no stranger to the title race in Spain and has wrestled the title off the Clasico sides previously, in 2013/14.
After picking apart the Champions League winners in the first half-last night, which saw Thibaut Courtois pick the ball out of his net three times in the first 39 minutes, Sevilla have also attracted support for the league.
They are the second most backed club with 17.6% of bets and are now as short as 66/1 after being available at a massive 500/1 yesterday.
