Sevilla-Real Madrid is a match of the tenth day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 6:30pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s adventure on the Sevilla bench is already over. Very short, but also intense, if we consider that the now former coach of the Andalusian club – who took over last March from Jorge Sampaoli – made it in time to lift the seventh Europa League in the red and white’s history, won in Budapest against José Mourinho’s Roma.
Mendilibar has not been forgiven for the overly erratic performance of this first part of the season, in which Sevilla has barely won two games, moreover against two teams fighting not to be relegated such as Las Palmas and Almeria. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the draw (2-2) two weeks ago with Rayo Vallecano, a match that Sergio Ramos and his teammates almost lost if it had not been for En-Nesyri’s goal in the midst of recovery. It was not enough, however, for Mendilibar to save the bench: in his place now is Diego Alonso, former Uruguay selector. A fiery debut awaits him: ready to go and immediately the challenge with leading Real Madrid.
The Blancos quickly overcame the derby defeat to Atletico Madrid, the only misstep of their season so far, by winning their next four games.
A Real Madrid lineup
In their last outing they overwhelmed the hapless Osasuna 4-0: the absolute protagonist was the usual Jude Bellingham, the team’s top scorer with 8 goals (10 if we also take into account the goals scored in the Champions League). The English midfielder knows how to do practically everything, and the new trequartista role sewn on him by Carlo Ancelotti seems to fit him like a glove. For the Italian coach, the only problem is absences, especially in defense, where the Italian coach hopes to recover at least Alaba, given the defections of Nacho and Militao.
The prediction
Sevilla difficult to decipher after the change of coach, although the structural problems of the red and white cannot be solved overnight. Real Madrid obviously favored but given the numerous absences in defense, it cannot be ruled out that they will concede at least one goal in the challenge at the “Sanchez Pizjuan. “
The probable formations of Sevilla-Real Madrid
- SEVILLE (4-2-3-1): Nyland; Jesus Navas, Badé, Sergio Ramos, Acuña; Sow, Rakitic; Lukébakio, Suso, Ocampos; En-Nesyri.

POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
