Prediction
- Real Madrid will want to kick on from a disappointing 0-0 draw with Athletic last time out, but given that they have so many injuries and suspensions, it could be tough for Zinedine Zidane’s men.
- The hosts have won their last four home La Liga matches, conceding in just one of those contests, but Sevilla have been improving of late in the league.
- Sevilla are unbeaten in their last six competitive games, but they have won just one of their last five away matches in La Liga. Villarreal are their only victims and it will take a big effort for Los Blancos to be their second.
