Real Madrid vs Sevilla
Real Madrid are scheduled to return to La Liga after winning the Supercopa de Espana. They will be especially welcomed by Sevilla, who have been the enemy of the 20th season this season. Clash opened Saturday (18/1) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid managed to add to the trophy collection after beating Atl Madrid through a penalty shootout last Monday (1/13). Unfortunately, Federico Valverde must undergo sanctions in the match tomorrow after receiving a red card in the 115th minute.
In league competition, Real Madrid still ranks runner up with 40 points. They deserve to be there with an unbeaten record since October, exactly 6 wins and 4 draws.
Meanwhile, Sevilla had just held a goal feast in the Copa del Rey competition. They acted as Escobedo’s guest last Sunday (12/1) and managed to win with a score of 0-5, even the host was unable to create a shot on target.
The hope, Sevilla is able to maintain the momentum to improve report cards in La Liga; they only won once during the last 4 matches, when they went to Mallorca (0-2), the rest drew with Osasuna (1-1) and Atl Bilbao (1-1), even losing to Villarreal (1-2).
The graph also holds Los Rojiblancos in 4th place with 35 points, just goal difference from Atl Madrid above it. Therefore, they will try to steal points at the Bernabeu despite always losing for five consecutive visits. The possibility of that hope will disappear in the hands of Real Madrid.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.62
