Sevilla come into this at home with two straight league wins, but the head-to-head record points towards Real Madrid having the edge in this fixture. Sevilla’s recent results suggest they can keep games tight at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, yet Madrid have still taken three of the last five meetings and have enough quality to decide a close contest. With no xG data available, the clearest read is from the results and the lineups, and that leans towards a low-scoring away win.
Real Madrid’s recent league form has been mixed, but they have still picked up wins away at Espanyol and drawn at Real Betis, which shows they can get results on the road. Sevilla have been more consistent at home than away, so this should be competitive for long spells, but Madrid’s stronger recent head-to-head record is hard to ignore. Match Prediction: Sevilla 0-1 Real Madrid
Form Guide & Team Overview
Sevilla
Sevilla’s recent league form shows three wins and two defeats across their last five matches. The two home wins over Espanyol and Real Sociedad stand out, while the away losses to Osasuna and Levante show they have been less reliable on the road.
At the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Sevilla have beaten Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad in this run, which suggests they can be organised and effective in front of their own supporters. That home record is the main reason they should not be written off, even if the overall form is still a little uneven.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s recent league form has been less straightforward, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five. The away win at Espanyol is a positive, while the draw at Real Betis shows they can still take something from a difficult trip.
Their most recent result was a 0-2 loss at FC Barcelona, so there is some inconsistency in the picture. Even so, the earlier league results suggest they remain capable of controlling matches and finding enough to edge tight games.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Sevilla (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos (Goalkeeper), César Azpilicueta (Defender), Gabriel Suazo (Defender), José Ángel Carmona (Defender), Kike Salas (Defender), Djibril Sow (Midfielder), Lucien Agoumé (Midfielder), Oso (Midfielder), Rubén Vargas (Midfielder), Akor Adams (Attacker), Neal Maupay (Attacker)
Sevilla’s predicted 4-4-2 should give them a compact shape with two banks of four, which can help them stay organised without the ball. It also gives them a straightforward route forward through Akor Adams and Neal Maupay if they can win second balls and break quickly.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Thibaut Courtois (Goalkeeper), Antonio Rüdiger (Defender), Fran García (Defender), Raúl Asencio (Defender), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Defender), Aurélien Tchouaméni (Midfielder), Brahim Díaz (Midfielder), Eduardo Camavinga (Midfielder), Jude Bellingham (Midfielder), Vinicius Junior (Midfielder), Gonzalo García (Attacker)
Real Madrid’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a strong central base with Aurélien Tchouaméni protecting the defence and allowing the attacking midfielders to play higher. With Gonzalo García up front and Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Brahim Díaz behind him, they have enough movement to stretch Sevilla’s back line.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Sevilla | Real Madrid | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Sevilla | Real Madrid | Akor Adams will need to hold his ground against Antonio Rüdiger if Sevilla are to make their direct attacks count. |
| Sevilla | Real Madrid | Djibril Sow against Aurélien Tchouaméni looks important because the midfield balance could decide who controls the tempo. |
| Sevilla | Real Madrid | Akor Adams is key for Sevilla because his presence gives them a focal point and a route to turn pressure into chances. |
| Sevilla | Real Madrid | Gonzalo García is key for Real Madrid because he is the central reference in a side built to feed runners around him. |
