Sevilla

LDLDLW

Sevilla will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 1-0 La Liga triumph versus UD Las Palmas.

In that match, Sevilla had 46% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Sevilla was Álvaro García (52'). Las Palmas got 14 attempts at goal with 3 on target.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Sevilla have shown defensive steel. In fact, Sevilla have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 8 goals in the process. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.

Leading up to this clash, Sevilla:

• have left without a victory over Real Madrid in their previous 12 league games.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 home league matches.

Real Madrid

WWLWLW

Real Madrid will go into this game following a 2-1 La Liga win with the eclipse of Mallorca in their most recent match.

In that match, Real Madrid had 71% possession and 39 attempts on goal with 13 of them on target. For Real Madrid, the scorers were Kylian Mbappé (68') and Jacobo Ramón (95'). Mallorca got 4 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Martin Valjent (11') scored for Mallorca.

Indicating their predisposition for high-scoring encounters, we’ve had goals 20 times in the previous six games in which Real Madrid have sent out their troops, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals per clash. Opposition teams have managed 10 of this grand total.

Going into this one, Real Madrid remain unbeaten by Sevilla when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. A very good run of results for them.

👥 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 17/04/2022 reveals that these encounters have been pretty painful for Sevilla. They have not been able to register any wins at all whereas Real Madrid have managed to find a way, beating them in 83 per cent of those match-ups.

In all, 21 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 7 of them from Sevillistas and 14 belonging to Los Blancos. That is an average goals per game value of 3.5.

The previous league fixture between the two was La Liga match day 18 on 22/12/2024 when it ended Real Madrid 4-2 Sevilla.

That time, Real Madrid had 59% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 8 on target. Goals were scored by Kylian Mbappé (10'), Federico Valverde (20'), Rodrygo (34') and Brahim Díaz (53').

Sevilla got 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Isaac Romero (35') and Dodi Lukébakio (85') scored.

📋 Team News: Sevilla

Tanguy Nianzou (Hamstring injury), Rubén Vargas (Hamstring injury) and Akor Adams (Muscle injury) won’t be playing for Sevilla manager Joaquín Caparrós.

We are thinking that Sevillistas could make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, handing starts to O. Haaskjold Nyland, Jose Angel Carmona, Loic Bade, Kike Salas, Adria Pedrosa, Lucien Agoume, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Suso, Djibril Sow, Dodi Lukebakio and Isaac Romero.

📰 Team News: Real Madrid

It’s our belief that Los Blancos seem most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system by sending out Andriy Lunin, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Raul Asencio, Francisco Garcia, Arda Guler, Daniel Ceballos, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, Endrick and Kylian Mbappe.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Sevilla will manage to score a goal against this Real Madrid team, however a single goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Therefore, we’re predicting a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Real Madrid after the 90. Expecting it to be very competitive.
