Los Blancos are on a three-match winning streak against Los Hispalenses!

Real Madrid are all set to battle it out against Sevilla FC in their 2025-26 LaLiga contest. This is going to be an interesting outing between these clubs, which is going to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Xabi Alonso-led Real Madrid are still four points behind the table toppers FC Barcelona in the league standings. They are back on the winning ways after their wins in the Spanish league and the Copa del Rey, but they need to maintain consistency going forward.

Los Blancos are still struggling in the defence. They must come up with a different style of play to avoid pressure.

After their average performances, Sevilla FC are in ninth spot on the LaLiga points table. They are already knocked out of the Spanish cup competition and will now be keen to perform better in the league.

Los Hispalenses have come up with some underwhelming efforts against Real Madrid in their last meetings. They will be away from home this time around and are likely to struggle.
