Sevilla will attempt to put a bump in Real Madrid's title charge when both sides meet in La Liga on Sunday. Although Madrid are playing with confidence at the moment, Sevilla have been near perfect at home this season and will be confident of making things difficult for their visitors.
Sevilla are attempting to return to their best form after enduring a difficult few weeks which saw them overtaken in second place by Barcelona and also crashing out of the Europa League. With no silverware left to play for, their target for the rest of the season will be to ensure they secure a top four finish.
Julen Lopetegui’s men ended a run of four straight La Liga matches without a victory as they triumphed 4-2 over Granada in their previous fixture. They had four different goal scorers with Diego Carlos, Lucas Ocampos, Rafa Mir and Alejandro Gomez all on target.
Sevilla will be feeling confident heading into Sunday’s clash as they are unbeaten at home all season. However, they have been held twice in that run, including 0-0 draw by Real Sociedad in the home fixture prior to the win over Granada.
Real Madrid will travel to Sevilla on a high note after progressing to the semi-final of the Champions League. Although they, were beaten 3-2 by Chelsea on Tuesday, a 3-1 victory in the first leg was enough to see them through.
On the domestic scene, things could not be better for Real Madrid as they are hold a 12-point lead at the top and have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 La Liga matches. However, the 4-0 El Clasico home defeat to Barcelona shows they are not completely unbeatable.
Real Madrid have also maintained a solid record on their travels this season, suffering just one defeat in their last 10 away matches. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have also won their last four matches on the road and triumphed 2-1 at Celta Vigo in their previous away fixture.
