Real Madrid vs Sevilla Betting Tips

Real Madrid has already qualified for the UCL knockout stages with a game to spare, and they welcome the La Liga surprise title challengers Sevilla at home this weekend. Real Madrid has been in great form this season, winning 9 matches, drawing 2, and losing 1 this season. 

Sevilla wasn’t regarded as a title challenger earlier this season, but they are pulling great results and mounting a serious title challenge. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches in La Liga and drawn 2. 

Will Sevilla topple the current league leaders and move to the first position? We will find out this weekend, but before that, here is our tip on this exciting fixture.  

Real Madrid Form and Team News

Real Madrid has clearly been the team to beat in La Liga this season and it is looking more like they are running away with the league very early. They have lost just once in 13 games and have won 4 of their last 5 matches. 

The Carlo Ancelotti’s side is star-studded and that is evident in their results. Though they played a match in the midweek, they have enough squad to rotate and still win their La Liga matches though a visit from Sevilla will prove to be a stern test. 

For the team news, Dani Ceballos, Federico Valverde, Eden Hazard, and Gareth Bale are all out or a doubt to feature in this game.  

Sevilla Form and Team News

Sevilla has been in a crazy decent form, mounting a serious title challenge to the Real Madrid quest. They have won 8 matches, drawn 4, and lost just 1 in La Liga this season. During this period, they have scored an impressive 23 goals and conceded just 9 goals. 

Their last 5 matches in La Liga has been 3 wins and 2 draws and that speaks volume of their current decent form. Sevilla was also in UCL action in the midweek with a 2-0 win over Wolfsburg, but have a day advantage to prepare for this clash over Real Madrid that played on Wednesday. 

For the team news, Sevilla has a clean health bill as their squad is all available to face Real Madrid.

Our Tipsters Angle

All eyes will be on this La Liga exciting match as this can be a statement match for Sevilla or Real Madrid on their title ambition. Both teams are in fine form and defending properly this season, even though Real Madrid looks like the superior team. 

The last 5 matches between these two teams in all competitions have seen Real Madrid win 4 and draw 1 against Sevilla. However, this looks like a different Sevilla altogether making the outcome of this match a difficult call. 

Tip 1: Sevilla Over 2.5 Corners 

While it is tempting to bet on 1×2 or goal markets, match statistics have shown that Sevilla has over 2.5 corners in 90% of their matches, and gunning for a win against Real Madrid should see them get 3+ Corners.    

Also in the last 5 matches between Real Madrid and Sevilla in all competitions, Sevilla has won over 2.5 corners in 100% of these matches, and we think a repeat of this outcome would happen. 

At the Casumo Sportsbook, Sevilla Over 2.5 Corners is available at odds 1.37.

Tip 2: Over 1.5 Goals

Both teams have shown that they have no problem with scoring and they have been defending pretty well too. There has been 100% over 1.5 goals in the last 5 Real Madrid matches this season and there have also been 100% over 1.5 goals in Sevilla’s last 5 matches, making this a good option to bet on. 

Benzema who has scored 53% of Real Madrid’s goals this season is Sevilla’s main problem and should be on the score sheet. 

Over 1.5 goals match bet option is available for this match at Casumo sportsbook at 1.25 odds and we think it is a good value for this match. 

Conclusion

Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti looks like the team to beat in La Liga and Europe. Though Sevilla is mounting a serious title challenge early on this season, we don’t know if this chase will continue. However, we do know that this match is one of the crunchy matches of the weekend.
