Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Granada, Real Madrid will be looking to retain top position in La Liga table when they host Sevilla to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. Despite failing to find the net in the triumph over Granada, Karim Benzema should continue to lead the line for the league leaders, while all Gareth Bale, Daniel Ceballos, and Federico Valverde miss out with injuries, while Eden Hazard is a major doubt.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Deportivo Alaves. Julen Lopetegui’s troops are undefeated in the previous three away games in La Liga, which is probably the main reason why a close encounter is on the cards. All Suso, En-Nesyri, and Jesus Navas are likely to miss the game with injuries.
