Tip and bets
In the first half of the season Madrid team recorded a victory, capital side is in a wonderful form now, so they will try to extend their handicap today, because Sevilla are extremely close to them. We are not expecting a sensation today - Real should be able to take control of the ball and to get the victory due to their class and experience.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Real Madrid
We think that capital club will put up a solid defensive performance and record a victory by a comfortable margin of two goals, just like in the first half of the season. The Blancos won each of three latest matches without conceding a single goal.
Our second bet is on Real Madrid to win by two goals
