Real Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction

Real Madrid are in a good place at the moment and the capital side do not look like letting off steam in their quest to regain the league crown.

Led by the in-form Karim Benzema, alongside an ever-improving Vinicius Jr, fans at the Bernabeu will be expecting their side to come up trumps.

They, however, have to be wary of Sevilla’s threat, particularly on the counter. The visitors have rediscovered their defensive nous and will not make life easy for their hosts.
