Both Sevilla and Real Madrid had poor results in Europe during the week so will be hoping to return to form here as they bid to push closer to the top spot of La Liga.

Sevilla Preview – Will Sevilla make it four straight wins in La Liga and go above their opponents?

Sevilla were already guaranteed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League before facing Chelsea in midweek but there’s no doubt the 4-0 loss will be somewhat humbling for the reigning Europa League holders. It was their first defeat in Europe this season and one which will see them finish in second place in their section. Julen Lopetegui will be looking for a reaction from his players as they welcome the champions on Saturday.

Their from prior to that was excellent with five straight wins in all competitions and they’re still looking to make it four straight La Liga victories.

 

Our betting prediction:
Over 2.5 goals
5/6

(odds taken 2000 GMT, Friday 4 December)
Sevilla have scored six goals in their last three domestic wins and one man who is a big reason for that is striker Youssef En-Nesyri. The Moroccan has six goals in his last seven games for Sevilla and will be hoping to be given the start from what is a plethora of attacking options for the head coach. He’s already matched the four La Liga goals he got in his first season at the club in 2019/20.
A win for the home team would put them above their opponents and they would also have a game in hand. In such a volatile division this season, they will feel they are capable of challenging.

Real Madrid Preview – Can Real avoid a fourth straight league game with a win for the first time in over two years?

Clinch the league title in the summer seems an awful long time ago for Real Madrid and particularly their manager Zinedine Zidane. They currently sit seven points behind leaders Real Sociedad, albeit they have a game in hand of their own over that rival. Real have also contrived to put themselves under huge pressure in the Champions League following a second defeat of the campaign to Shakthar Donetsk.

Zidane’s job is under real threat going into that game as Real look to protect a record which has seen them reach the next stage in every one of the last 25 years. Their’s also the financial aspect to consider.

It’s hardly the ideal preparation for what in itself is a big came in the context of La Liga. A heavy 4-1 defeat away  to Valencia, draw with Villareal and then an unacceptable home loss to Alaves last week is why there is so much discontent at the champions just now.

The situation is made much more challenging by the fact that inspirational leader and captain, Sergio Ramos, remains unavailable due to injury. His absence has been huge since the last international break.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid Betting Advice

It’s hardly the game Zidane would pick to get his team’s season back on track and to try and build some confidence going into that crucial match with Gladbach in midweek. Their win here last season is their only success away to Sevilla in five years so the home team know how to make it difficult for the team from the capital.

The loss to Eibar earlier in the season is Sevilla’s only home defeat in their last 15 La Liga games at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. So it is something of a fortress.

Key Facts – Sevilla vs Real Madrid Betting Tip

  • Sevilla have won three of their four home games in La Liga this season
  • It’s now just one win in five games for Real following their 2-0 loss against Shakthar
  • Real’s win here last season was the first away to Sevilla since 2015

 

This does appear to be a huge opportunity for Sevilla to get a win over the champions and at the same time further propel them into what appears to be a wide open title race. With Real missing their captain and their general form of late, I”m happy to side with Sevilla to get the three points.
