Real Madrid-Sevilla is a match valid for the 26th day of La Liga and is played Sunday at 9 p.m.: TV, lineups and predictions
The away draw against Rayo Vallecano last round did not shorten the standings. On the contrary, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid picked up a point over Girona, which lost and is now only set to win this La Liga. They are six points ahead of the first pursuer, eight ahead of Xavi’s Barcelona, which now thinks only and exclusively of second place. Ancelotti can rest easy then. Chances of a different ending from what it is at the moment are not there.
Having secured with the victory on the Leipzig pitch also the Champions League issue, it is time, however, for the Blancos – who will have many absences – also to get back to winning ways in the league. They will miss Bellingham for sure, still struggling with an ankle problem. Nor will Carvajal and Joselu be there. Space for Diaz then behind the forwards, who should be Rodrygo and Vinicius. Deep roster that of the Madrilenians who have few problems when they have to choose who to send on the field anyway. The level is very high. The match against Sevilla will be special, however, also because there will be the return to the Bernabeu of Sergio Ramos, who has won everything in those parts. But on the pitch then the space for memories will not be there. Madrid’s goal is to take the three points against a lineup that seems to have put the blackest period behind it and hopes to end the season without a hitch.
No, Sevilla is not yet safe, but over Cadiz it has put a good margin. To manage to get points against Real would be something resounding, but let’s just say that the Andalusians are not thinking much about it either. They, too, know their limits and will mainly try to take as few risks as possible. Despite this, they will not be able to return home with a positive result.
The prediction
A match of at least three goals overall. A match directed towards Real Madrid that after the draw against Vallecano wants to return to victory. Match written. Ancelotti will take the three points.
