Real Madrid will put its leadership on the line when it visits Sevilla on matchday 10 of LaLiga. The team, led by Carlo Ancelotti, has 24 points, while Sevilla, now under the management of Diego Alonso, is in 14th place with 8 points.
Sevilla comes from a home draw against Rayo Vallecano (2-2). On the other hand, Los Blancos comfortably defeated Osasuna (4-0).
Player to watch
Real Madrid will once again showcase its brightest talent of the season, the British player Jude Bellingham, who has already scored ten goals for Los Blancos, eight in LaLiga and two in the Champions League.
Bellingham has been the necessary replacement that Carlo Ancelotti needed in the absence of Karim Benzema, who moved to Arab football, and Vinicius, who suffered an early injury but is now fully recovered and fit for the match.
Sevilla, on the other hand, will rely on the creativity of Croatian Ivan Rakitic, Belgian Dodi Lukébakio, and Argentines Marcos Acuña and Lucas Ocampos to break through the rival defense. Additionally, Erik Lamela, from the Argentine national team, has recovered from an illness and could be in the game.
Last Encounter
They faced each other on May 27, 2023, at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with Real Madrid winning 2-1 with goals from Rodrygo. Rafa Mir had opened the scoring for the home team. Marcos Acuña was sent off in the 83rd minute.
Sevilla’s last victory against Real Madrid dates back to September 29, 2018, when Pablo Machín’s team defeated Julen Lopetegui’s Real Madrid 3-0, with a double from André Silva and another goal from Ben Yedder.
Prediction
As mentioned earlier, Sevilla’s last league victory against Real Madrid was in September 2018. They have lost eight of the last nine top-flight encounters between the two teams. Predicting anything other than an away win in this match is challenging, although we expect the scoreline to be close
