Real Madrid - Sevilla predictions

Real Madrid are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.33, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Sevilla will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Real were given an unexpected resistance at Rayo Vallecano last time out. From a punter’s point of view, the 1:1 result was largely disappointing knowing that Los Blancos were installed as favourites to win (1.69). Level at halftime, level after 90 minutes and hosts will be eager to bounce back from it this time out.

Sevilla’s previous away game versus Valencia was fairly uneventful, which isn’t necessarily bad for them. Considering their victory was priced at odds of 2.37 with most top bookmakers online, things were expected to go much worse for them.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The Sevillistas fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Los Blancos are currently the top dogs in the La Liga, but there’s still time to change that and they need to be careful. Still, the season’s end is getting closer and the match against The Sevillistas is a good chance to solidify their position even further.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Real M. being seen as the favourites.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Jude Bellingham. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Nemanja Gudelj, Marcos Acuña, Érik Lamela, Lucas Ocampos, Marcão Teixeira, Nianzou Kouassi, Mariano Díaz, Lucien Agoumé. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
