Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will be the centre of attention when Sevilla and Real Madrid lock horns in the La Liga derby. Los Sevillanos were having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team crushing Almeria 5-1, losing to Barcelona, while sharing the spoils with Rayo Vallecano. Goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic has joined Mariano Diaz and Erik Lamela in the recovery room, while Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute for Fernando in the last league match.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. The league leaders rolled over Osasuna on Matchday 9 to extend their winning run to three games and given Sevilla’s shaky defence, we predict that Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s showdown. Defender Nacho is banned for the match, while all Andriy Lunin, Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao miss out with injuries.
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.
