Sevilla vs Real Madrid. Prediction and Preview. Probable Lineups, Team News, Stats and more

2 years AGO

Sevilla will host Real Madrid at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan in the 32nd tour of La Liga. The match will take place on March 18, beginning at 00:30 IST.

Real Madrid are comfortably leading La Liga, they just reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and also beat (2-1) Sevilla in their first-round match at the Santiago Bernabeu. At one time, Sevilla were Real’s main pursuer in the league table. However, they have now fallen a long way behind and so there is less intrigue in this game. Nevertheless, we can confidently call it a central game of the tour.

The Andalusians have a major advantage – the freshness of the players due to the absence of any side tournaments. At this time, Los Blancos will be quite exhausted due to the recent 120 min game against Chelsea in the Champions League. In addition, the biggest matches of the most prestigious tournament are just ahead. If Ancelotti rests his main stars (and some are also suspended or injured), the outcome of the match becomes unpredictable.

Let’s find out the current balance of power. Parimatchnews will tell you everything you need to know ahead of the upcoming match.

Sevilla News & Current Form:

Sevilla remain the only team in La Liga without a home defeat this season (11 wins, 4 draws).

The Andalusians said goodbye to the Europa League back in mid-March, losing to English side West Ham in the 1/8 finals (1-0, 0-2). Since then, they have been playing just one game a week. And this keeps the players fresh and fit.

In their last matches, the Andalusian club lost away to in-form Barcelona (0-1) and defeated Granada at home (4-2).

With 60 points, Sevilla are tied with Barcelona for second place in the Primera table. The goal difference is 44-22, with Rafa Mir scoring nine goals (team top forward).

Real Madrid News & Current Form:

Real Madrid have won 6 of their last 7 games in La Liga and are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 away matches (8 wins, 1 draw). The Galacticos lead the league with 72 points. The goal difference is 61-26, with Karim Benzema scoring 24 goals.

Madrid started April with a 2-1 away win over Celta before beating Chelsea 3-1 in an away Champions League match.

In recent matches, Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Getafe 2-0 at home before the crucial return game against the Blues.

Real Madrid continued their winning run in the Champions League this week as they edged out Chelsea by beating the English on aggregate in overtime. At one point it looked like the Royal Club had completely lost control and momentum, but the matured and experienced leaders made all the difference: Los Blancos squeezed everything out of the few chances they had. The maximum-energy-consuming 120 minutes of the game against the Londoners surely will have an impact on the functionality of Carlo Ancelotti’s side in Seville.

What has been said before the match:

Julen Lopetegui:

“We’re going into the game with the same desire as any other. Real Madrid are top of the league – we know how tough it will be but we are hoping to play a great game and come away with the three points. That’s our goal. It’s going to be an exciting but demanding game for both teams. We’re focused on playing on our strengths to help us overcome a top team. They’ve just qualified for the Champions League semi-finals in a superb manner. The only thing we’re focused on is playing the match and getting the three points.”

Carlo Ancelotti:

“The team is in good shape. We’ve had the time to recover and prepare well for this next game, which is against strong opposition. Sevilla have good quality, both individually and as a team. We’re physically and mentally aware that we’re getting close to the end of the season and that every game is very important, including the Sevilla game. We played on Tuesday and we’ll be playing again on Sunday night. In terms of fitness, we’re doing well. We want to put in a high-energy and intense performance, which is what is needed in these types of games. We’ve had enough time for everyone to recover.”

“We need to win and get the three points because the LaLiga title race isn’t over. Everyone is waiting for us to slip up and that hasn’t happened as yet. The LaLiga title race is still wide open. We’ve got an advantage, but we want to pick up the points tomorrow and in our next games between now and the end of the season. We can end up slipping up in every game we play. Sevilla are still in the hunt for the title or to finish amongst the top four. We’re aware of their strengths and are ready”.

“What I’m most interested in is that we’re competing and fighting for silverware come the end of the season. That’s where our focus lies”.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid Prediction:

Firstly, the Andalusians are in lousy form at the moment: they were eliminated from the Europa League, they have a four-match winless streak in the league and they have won just once in their last five meetings. Real, on the other hand, have been going through the league with almost no losses, not including the disastrous match against Barça. In addition, Real Madrid know how to get the result they need at the moment, which they did very well in the return leg against Chelsea. As Real will benefit from smashing Sevilla to drop them from the list of chasers, the hosts do not stand a chance.

It is also worth mentioning that only twice in Sevilla’s last 10 games there have been more than 2 goals scored. It’s safe to assume we won’t see many goals in the match.
