Date, Kick-off time and TV coverage
La Liga Primera Division, Saturday October 21, kick-off 17:30, live on ViaplayUK
Suggested bet:
While Real are riding high at the top of the Primera Division table, the Andalucians are languishing in the bottom half of the table with only two wins from their eight outings.
Sevilla managed to salvage a point from their last game at home to Rayo Vallecano, battling back from a two-goal deficit to snatch a 2-2 draw, with Youssef En-Nesyri grabbing a dramatic equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Diego Alonso will make his debut as Sevilla manager, replacing Mendilibar, who was replaced after his latest results, and this could hardly be a tougher baptism for the Uruguayan.
Conversely, Real went into the international break with a comfortable 4-0 win against Osasuna, thanks to a Jude Bellingham brace and further goals from Vinicius Jr. and Joselu.
Suggested bet: Jude Bellingham to score at any time
Apart from their 3-1 loss to Atletico in the Madrid derby a month ago, Real can boast a 100 per cent record in all competitions, including an impressive 3-2 Champions League success at Napoli a couple of weeks ago.
With 24 points from their first nine games, Real have a two-point cushion ahead of surprise outfit Girona with arch-rivals Barcelona a further point adrift in third.
The last Sevilla-Real Madrid clash took place in the penultimate round of the last season in May when Carlo Ancelotti’s team managed a 2-1 win, coming from behind, with two goals from Rodrygo after Rafa Mir had opened the score for Sevilla. It was a win that ensured the runner-up spot for Real Madrid
Since losing 3-0 in this fixture early in the 2018-19 season, Real Madrid have won eight of their last nine encounters with Sevilla (drawing the other), scoring 18 goals in the process and conceding eight.
Their last five clashes have each produced more than three goals, with both teams finding the net in all five games.
