Free-scoring Madrid face a pressing Sevilla side
Real Madrid have found their groove this season under Xabi Alonso, who has masterminded a flexible system that allows his side to dominate possession and play with a 3-at-the-back system when needed. A patient build-up has been the norm, but the home side can also play on the edge and control the game from the middle third when in possession, which isn’t the ideal scenario for the Real Madrid vs Sevilla FC prediction.
Matías Almeyda’s men are a completely different animal to Madrid’s possession-based football. Almeyda has brought energy and a pressing game to Sevilla that has given the team a new lease of life and the results have been better, but they face a tough test on Saturday against Real Madrid.
Our Real Madrid vs Sevilla FC prediction is based on their recent form: Real have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five in all competitions, but they have lost back-to-back home games at the Bernabéu and Sevilla will arrive in Madrid feeling confident they can make a game of it.
Sevilla’s away form is a concern
This Real Madrid vs Sevilla FC preview underscores that the visitors have won three of their 8 LaLiga away games (D1, L4), and have let in 1.50 goals per 90 minutes on their travels. That’s not great for a team that plays with two up top, but Akor Adams leads the line with just three goals in 14 league games, so they are not prolific in front of goal.
Sevilla have failed to win their last two trips to Real, and Los Blancos have the quality and depth to get a victory in this game, but there are better odds than the 1.25 odds on the hosts for small stakes. The ‘Over 2.5 goals’ market is much stronger for this clash, while a 3-1 home win is the best option in the correct score market and fits the Real Madrid vs Sevilla FC betting tips for this fixture.
Kylian Mbappé has been in fine form for Real Madrid and has scored four of his side’s last seven goals. He has bagged 17 goals in as many LaLiga games this term, so back the Frenchman to put the ball in the back of the net against Sevilla.
