Sevilla, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-3 La Liga success vs Villarreal.

In that match, Sevilla had 37% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Sevilla, the scorers were Oso (36'), Salas (45') and Akor Adams (72'). Villarreal had 6 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Moreno (13') and Georges Mikautadze (20') scored for Villarreal.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Sevilla have shown defensive steel.

We will find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Sevilla:

• have not emerged victorious against Real Madrid in their last 14 league games. That has got to hurt.
• are undefeated in their last 3 league matches at home.

ℹ️ Team News: Sevilla

Manu Bueno (Edema in the knee) and Marcão (Scaphoid fracture) will not be taking part for Sevilla boss Luis García Plaza.

It seems likely that Sevillistas will possibly kick off with a 5-3-2 system for the game featuring Odysseas Vlachodimos, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kike Salas, Gabriel Suazo, Jose Angel Carmona, Oso, Ruben Vargas, Lucien Agoume, Djibril Sow, Akor Adams and Neal Maupay.

📰 Team News: Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa has not got a full squad to pick from. Dean Huijsen (unknown injury), Federico Valverde (Head injury), Éder Militão (Muscle injury), Rodrygo (Cruciate ligament tear) and Ferland Mendy (Tendon rupture) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that Los Blancos seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system, going with Thibaut Courtois, T. Alexander-Arnold, Raul Asencio, Antonio Ruediger, Francisco Garcia, Brahim Diaz, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Sevilla will have to perform well to hit the back of the net against this Real Madrid team who will likely get the vital goal that wins it.

Our tip is therefore for a good battle with a 0-1 advantage for Real Madrid at the end of the match.

Let’s see.
