Sevilla and Real Madrid meet in a match in the stage with the number 5 in La Liga. The confrontation will be played on Sunday, from 20:00, on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Sevilla has a very solid start to the season, with four wins in five matches in all competitions. What should be mentioned is the fact that all these victories have come away. On home soil, Julen Lopetegui’s team drew with Celta Vigo, score 1-1, being the only match this season in which Sevilla received a goal.
Real Madrid was not convincing in the first four stages of the championship, gaining only two victories, the other matches being concluded on a draw. In the middle of this week, the “galactics” suffered humiliation on the field of a team that did not have the three most important players. PSG prevailed against the score (3-0) against Real, although Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe were absent. What was most worrying for Zinedine Zidane’s team was the fact that throughout the match, Real didn’t even send a hundred on goal, having two goals canceled for position outside the game.
-The last 8 direct duels of the championship were won by the team considered host;
-In the last 8 games of La Liga, the home team has scored at least two goals each time;
-Real Madrid has 7 wins in 23 visits to FC Sevilla, while the hosts have won 13 times;
Probable teams
Sevilla: Vaclik – Navas, Carlos, Carrico, Reguilon – Banega, Fernando, Jordan – Ocampos, Jong, Haddadi;
Absent: Nolito (injured);
Real Madrid: Courtois – Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy – Rodriguez, Casemiro, Kroos – Bale, Benzema, Hazard;
Absent: Marco Asensio, Luka Modric, Federico Valverde (injured), Isco, Marcelo (uncertain);
Real will try to regain morale through a success achieved on the ground of the leader of Spain. However, their mission will not be a simple one, considering that Sevilla has won 6 of the last 7 straight duels in the championship, played on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The goals should not be missing, but the solid defense of the hosts could limit this duel to only four changes in the table.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,44
