Sevilla vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-05-17 17:00.
[p]Sevilla finally ended their eight-match La Liga winless run (D2, L6) by beating Las Palmas 1-0 on Tuesday, and other midweek results mean they are now safe from relegation. Heading for a third consecutive bottom-half finish represents another underwhelming season and fans are understandably unhappy, although some of them unfairly expressed their frustrations by vandalising the club’s training ground prior to the Las Palmas game.[/p]
[p]Despite the upheaval, Los Nervionenses are now unbeaten in three home league fixtures (W1, D2), and might be hopeful of a strong performance in their final home game of the season but for the fact that it’s against reigning champions Real Madrid. They haven’t won a home H2H since September 2018 (D1, L4), although that draw was last term with all the scoring taking place after the 70th minute (D 1-1).[/p]
[p]Talking of late goals, Madrid found one in injury time to beat Mallorca 2-1 on Wednesday to keep their slim title hopes alive before Barcelona ended them by beating Espanyol on Thursday. Although second place is assured and Carlo Ancelotti is taking over the Brazil job in the summer, he’ll be keen to ensure there’s no let-up as the capital club approach the end of a successful era with him at the helm.[/p]
[p]Upholding that good record at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán should serve as good motivation for Los Blancos, as is bouncing back from losing their last league away game 4-3 at Barcelona. This will be Ancelotti’s last road game in charge and he has some happy memories to draw from as Madrid won their final La Liga away game of the 2022/23 campaign here (W 2-1), also on matchday 37 when they finished second behind Barcelona![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Isaac Romero scored for Sevilla in his last home game and three of his four La Liga goals this term arrived before half-time, including one against Madrid in December (L 4-2). Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring on that day, as he did against Barcelona last Sunday en route to a hat-trick that saw him break Iván Zamorano’s record of 37 goals in a debut season at Madrid.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Sevilla have lost all four La Liga home games as pre-match outsiders this season.[/p]
