Real Madrid vs Sevilla: how they shape up
Real Madrid haven’t won back-to-back league titles since 2006-07 and 2007-08 but already look to be in a strong position to do just that, holding a three-point lead at the top of the table over bitter rivals Barcelona. Their victory in El Clásico last weekend was followed up by a comfortable midweek triumph in Elche, despite VAR ruling out goals on three occasions. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have taken 28 points from a possible 30 this season and have won 13 of their 15 fixtures in all competitions, the other two ending all square.
It’s fair to say that Sevilla have not started the campaign as they would’ve wanted. Los Nervionenses have finished fourth for three consecutive seasons but found themselves in the relegation zone after a home defeat to Atlético Madrid at the start of October. Another loss at Estadio Román Sánchez-Pizjuán to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League cost Julen Lopetegui his job; there is next to no hope of progressing in that competition. Sampaoli, who coached the club between 2016 and 2017, returned to the dugout and has steadied the ship somewhat, overseeing three 1-1 draws and a 1-0 victory in his four matches in charge, which have bumped Sevilla up the table to 12th. They’d be more than happy with either of those results on Saturday.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla: team news
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is expected to return to the Real Madrid side after a back injury; Andriy Lunin has proved an able deputy in the last five matches. Captain Karim Benzema gave Ancelotti a fitness scare on Friday after pulling up in training, although it looks as if will be available. The Italian coach will have to decide whether to bring back left-back Ferland Mendy, rested in Elche, or give attacker Rodrygo a run-out; the Brazilian has impressed this term but has often found himself on the bench nevertheless.
Fernando and Tecatito have been joined in the Sevilla treatment room by Tanguy Nianzou, who was forced off in midweek against Valencia. Kike Salas was sent off in that game after coming on as a substitute and is suspended as a result, while Marcos Acuña isn’t yet fit to make his return to action. There is a place in the squad, however, for summer signing Marcao, who will challenge for a place in central defence.
