Sevilla v Real Madrid Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Sevilla will attempt to beat Real Madrid for the first time in eight years when Los Blancos travel to the Ramon Sanchez‑Pizjuan Stadium on Sunday.

Alvaro Arbeloa’s side faced boos at the Bernabeu on Thursday in their first match since last weekend’s El Clasico defeat to Barcelona, which formally surrendered the title.

All is not well at the club, despite a routine 2-0 win, with Kylian Mbappe later admitting that Arbeloa had told him he was Real Madrid's "fourth-choice forward".

That claim was later denied by the coach, but the Frenchman is not a popular figure at the moment and was whistled by fans as he emerged from the bench.

It all follows quickly on from the soap opera involving Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde, which saw the latter hospitalised and both players fined record amounts.

Sevilla may actually be feeling more positive about the future at the end of another relegation battle amid a three-game winning run.

Ex-Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos is fronting a buyout of his boyhood club and they remain in the hunt for Europe, despite still not being mathematically safe from relegation.

Sevilla v Real Madrid Tips Summary

Best Bet - Over 2.5 total goals @ 8/11

Bet Builder - Sevilla to win, Ruben Vargas to assist & Brahim Diaz 2+ fouls won @ 14/1

Sevilla v Real Madrid Prediction

Best Bet: Over 2.5 total goals @ 8/11

This fixture has not been a reliable source of goals for several seasons now with only one of the past five meetings breaking the 2.5 barrier.

But four of Sevilla’s last six games have featured at least three strikes and they should have plenty of motivation to attack an out-of-sorts Real Madrid side.

Whether Mbappe starts or not, Los Blancos have enough firepower to get on the scoresheet multiple times, as they have done in four of their last seven away trips.

But they have conceded 11 goals across that sequence of road games, which should offer plenty of encouragement to the home side.

Sevilla’s defensive record has been among the worst in La Liga, with only Levante conceding more.

With Luis Garcia’s side desperate to win four in a row and Real Madrid aggressive by nature, there should be a good chance of at least three goals in the game.

Alternative Bet – Sevilla draw no bet @ 11/8

Sevilla have not fluked their way to three consecutive wins over Real Sociedad, Espanyol and Villarreal.

They totally dominated the Basque outfit the Monday before last, recording 19 shots to Real Sociedad’s six and five on target to zero in a 1-0 victory.

Garcia’s men piled on the pressure against relegation rivals Espanyol to cap a brilliant second-half comeback with Akor Adams’ stoppage-time strike last weekend.

And they refused to be beaten at third-placed Villarreal in midweek, overturning an early 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.

The hosts have more to gain than Madrid and very little to lose on Sunday, which should make them dangerous opponents for a side who are in turmoil on and off the pitch.

There may be no better chance for Sevilla to break their eight-year hoodoo against the capital club and the Draw no Bet angle offers a way to regain the stake if they just fail to get over the line.

Sevilla v Real Madrid Bet Builder Tip

• Sevilla to win

• Ruben Vargas to assist

• Brahim Diaz 2+ fouls won

  
  Pays 14/1

Sevilla are a worthy inclusion in this Bet Builder to win a game that means more to them than the visitors.

Ruben Vargas has had a productive campaign on the left wing and should relish this chance to go up against Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is not recognised as one of the best defensive full-backs in La Liga.

The Sevilla star has registered 0.27 assists per game this season, placing him among the top six players in the Spanish top-flight for that metric.

Brahim Diaz draws fouls at a high rate due to his quick feet and ability to operate between the lines. He has been fouled seven times in his last two appearances and averages 2.77 fouls won per 90 minutes in La Liga this term.

Key Match Stats

• Real Madrid have lost three of their last six away games in La Liga
