Real Madrid will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten record this season as they host Sevilla in La Liga on Saturday. Sevilla are still trying to find their rhythm this term and should struggle at the home of the champions.
Real Madrid are unbeaten across all competitions and have opened up a three-point lead at the top of La Liga.
Los Blancos showed their superiority over their closest challengers as they claimed a 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the El-Clasico. They followed that with a 3-0 victory at Elche in midweek with Karim Benzema scoring in both games.
Real Madrid have also been excellent at home in recent times with just one defeat in their last 33 La Liga matches at the Santiago Bernabeu, a run stretching back to 2021. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have also been comfortable at home lately with a 4-1 win over Mallorca preceding their victory over Barcelona.
It has been a rough season for Sevilla so far, but they appear to be slowly get things back on track in recent weeks having lost just once in their last five La Liga matches. However, they have also claimed only one win in that run and remain dangerously close to the bottom three.
Sevilla are coming off a 1-1 draw with Valencia in their previous La Liga fixture. They fell behind early in the first half and were made to labour for much of the contest before Erik Lamela struck the equaliser four minutes from time.
Despite their problems, Sevilla will head to Madrid with some confidence given their record on their recent travels. Jorge Sampaoli’s men have claimed two wins and a draw from their last three away matches in La Liga.
