Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Sevilla and Real Madrid face each other at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the opening match of La Liga round 37. Los Sevillanos are eyeing a spot in the Conference League and a win over los Blancos could see them climb to top seven. Keep in mind, though, that Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men will be with one eye on the Europa League final against Roma. Both Pape Gueye and Jesus Navas are banned for the match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men, on the other hand, aim to secure a top-two finish and seeing that Sevilla’s main goal is to lift the Europa League trophy, away win should be considered. As for the away team, Daniel Carvajal is banned for the match, while key attacker Karim Benzema should be fit to face los Sevillanos. Junior Vinicius is back as well.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
