Real Madrid vs Sevilla Predictions

• Sevilla have scored in all but one of their away trips
• The visitors have lost four of their five meetings with sides above them in the standings
• Real have conceded in four of their last five league games

Alonso can’t afford another setback

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso remains under pressure, despite leading the club to back-to-back victories. A 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo in their last home league game left the former Bayer Leverkusen boss in a precarious position, so he needs his side to see off Sevilla on Saturday.

There are signs that Real are toiling, despite their recent victories. Alonso’s side have conceded in four straight games following a 3-2 victory over Talavera de la Reina in the cup this week.

Real meet a Sevilla side who have pushed clear of danger and into the top half of the La Liga table following a difficult couple of years. While the visitors have lost five of their six clashes with sides above them, they’ve scored eight times across those six matches.

Sevilla have failed to score only once on their travels, while Real have kept one clean sheet in five La Liga outings. Back Sevilla to become the latest side to trouble them at the back, but Real can secure a seventh home win in the league, with Sevilla losing three of their last four trips.
