Sevilla vs Real Madrid: match preview
Sevilla currently sit 12th in the table and are still in the race for a European spot. The team has collected 43 points after 36 matches and are five points behind seventh place with just two rounds remaining. They arrive in strong form, having won their last three matches. If they can maintain this run, Sevilla could still mount a late push for European qualification, although they will also need results elsewhere to go their way, including dropped points from Getafe in their remaining fixtures.
As for Real Madrid, the team is simply seeing out the season and will not be crowned champions this year. This marks a second consecutive trophyless campaign, and the squad’s form has been inconsistent. There are also reports of internal tension within the team, with rumours of dressing-room conflict, which appears to be affecting performances. They also suffered a defeat to Barcelona and are now reportedly considering a managerial change.
Projected line-ups
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Carmona, Castrin, Salas, Suazo; Vargas, Gudelj, Agoume, Oso; Adams, Maupay
- Real Madrid: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rudiger, F Garcia; Pitarch, Tchouameni; Brahim, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe
Prediction
Real Madrid are finishing the season, but after their defeat to Barcelona they bounced back with a win, and I expect them to win this match as well.
