Command Analysis

Real Madrid

Current form
Real Madrid return to La Liga after an eventful week. In the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final, the team met Mexican Pachuca and won 3-0, winning the prestigious trophy. However, in the last round of La Liga, the Los Blancos disappointed their fans, drawing 3-3 with Rayo Vallecano.
Despite their attacking edge, defensive errors have cost them two points, making their title race difficult. Carlo Ancelotti insists his side are “on track” despite dropping five points in the last three rounds, although they are now expected to finish the year on a high. Returning home is almost always a positive for the https://www.realmadrid.com/en-US target=_blank rel=noopener>Whites , who have only lost to Barcelona here in La Liga since April 2023.
Disqualifications and injuries
The following will not be able to take part in the match: Alaba (knee injury), Carvajal (ankle injury), Militao (cruciate ligament injury), Vinicius Junior (ligament injury) and Mendy (muscle injury).

Sevilla

Current form
Sevilla travel to Madrid on the back of a six-game run of mixed results, with former Barcelona manager García Pimienta struggling to make it two league wins in a row against the Nervion side for the first time this season, against a team he has lost both head-to-head against.
Away play brings even more problems for Sevilla, who have won just once away from home under their current manager in the league, most recently throwing away a 3-1 lead to Atletico Madrid in their last trip. Success in this part of the capital will be no easy task, as Sevilla have not won away to Los Blancos since 2008.
Disqualifications and injuries
Currently out are Ejuke (muscle injury), Nianjou (knee injury) and Pedrosa (muscle injury).

1.65Tip and bets
Last season, Real Madrid easily beat the Red and Whites twice, and they did it softly and effortlessly. Today, we are on the side of another scenario, which could bring an abundance of attacks and scoring chances, while the defensive problems of the Nervionese could ultimately prove decisive. We expect an abundance of dangerous moments and a high conversion rate. In addition, in two of the last four head-to-head matches, fewer than four goals were scored, which we expect today as well.
Forecast - total over three goals and we bet on it for 1.93
Bet on the outcome
"Real" Madrid in any combination of the lineup is a head stronger, while the statistics of the last face-to-face matches did not please the devotees of the "Santiago Bernabeu" with confident victories. Today, Madrid is in excellent shape and in a good mood after the success with "Pachuca", which they beat by three goals, which we do not exclude in today meeting.
Prediction: Real Madrid win by three goals and we bet on it for 5.35
Bet on corners
Most likely, the abundance of attacks and the desire to get to the goal will bring a lot of set pieces. In addition, we believe that breakthroughs through the flanks will lead to a large number of corner kicks.
Forecast - total corners over nine. This option can be found for 1.94
