Sevilla vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
The Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán will be the battleground for the best poster in the twelfth round in Spain on Saturday afternoon. Which team will recover and wash away the bitter aftertaste of the midweek performances in the Champions League?
Seville:
Coach Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla started the new season in La Liga well with two victories, but soon sand got into the Andalusian engine. In the four league matches that followed, only one point was collected, so that the deficit in the rankings quickly increased. In November, the men from Lopetegui got some air again thanks to the relatively simple program. A series of victories of three matches against the lesser gods from the competition followed, although it is still very questionable whether the Sevillistas can also secure the three points in a top match.
The recent mutual history with Real Madrid in the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán speaks in any case in favor of the Andalusians. Last season, there was a narrow loss in-house to the Royal Dutch, but the two duels that preceded that meeting were both won. With Luuk de Jong and Karim Rekik in the base, Lopetegui hopes to forget Tuesday’s painful Champions League defeat. With four goals, Olivier Giroud left the Sevillian ambitions to go for a group win in Group E: 0-4.
Real Madrid:
Just like Saturday’s opponent, Real Madrid also has a very poor start to the competition. Zinedine Zidane is with a point ahead of Sevilla in fourth place with his formation, but also needed an extra match. The most painful defeat this season was suffered by the Madrid people last weekend: Los Blancos were knocked 1-2 at home by low flyer Deportivo Alavés. The day after the humiliation in their own country, the Madrid people also went down in the Champions League to visit Shakhtar Donetsk: 2-0.
Although Zidane has of course had bad luck with the injuries of, among others, Sergio Ramos and now again Eden Hazard, the coach himself is also getting more and more criticism. For example, he is accused of rotating too much and that the tactical choices do not always make sense given the player material. For the time being, the Frenchman is firmly in his seat, but the sporting crisis should of course not last too long. Finally, many players will again be missing against Sevilla; only in midfield can Zidane have the usual names.
