Sevilla vs Real Madrid Preview, Prediction, Teams, Timings, Lineups, and How to Watch | La Liga 2025-26

Off-field chaos continues to engulf Real Madrid, who are seeking to salvage some pride during their penultimate La Liga match of the season away at Sevilla. Training ground bust-ups, presidential shenanigans and Kylian Mbappé’s recent outburst have poured fuel on a growing dumpster fire at the Bernabéu. Yet somehow, football must go on.

Meanwhile, Sevilla have strung together three straight victories to lift themselves out of the relegation zone and four points clear of the bottom three — safety not yet confirmed, confidence finally beginning to flow.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid : Match Details

Head-to-Head & Context

Sevilla haven’t beaten Real Madrid since 2018, losing eight of their last nine meetings. Los Blancos are unbeaten in 14 consecutive fixtures against the Andalusians. History is firmly against the hosts — but a desperate home crowd and safety pressure can be a powerful equaliser.

A 2–0 midweek win over relegated Real Oviedo — with goals from Gonzalo García and Jude Bellingham — gave Madrid the slightest of reprieves, though the result is entirely inconsequential for the second-placed side who are simply desperate for a disastrous season to end.

Predicted Lineups

Sevilla (4-4-2): Vlachodimos; Carmona, Castrín, Salas, Suazo; Vargas, Agoumé, Gudelj, Ejuke; Adams, Maupay

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rüdiger, F. García; Tchouaméni, Camavinga; Díaz, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbapp

Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) — All eyes are on whether Mbappé starts after his explosive outburst. Manager Arbeloa insists the Frenchman is “definitely going to be the first-choice forward” — a statement that feels as much about control as confidence. Sports Illustrated

Akor Adams (Sevilla) — Adams has scored in successive games and will need special attention from Madrid’s backline. He could be the danger man Los Nervionenses lean on to nick a vital goal. Sports Illustrated

Prediction

Madrid remain an entirely unpredictable beast this season, but their individual talent — Vinicius Junior, Bellingham, and Mbappé — ensures they head in as favourites even against a resurgent Sevilla. Los Blancos should secure successive wins for the first time since the March international break.

Our pick: Sevilla 1–2 Real Madrid — a nervy away win, just enough to quieten the noise — for now. For full La Liga coverage visit La Liga’s official website.
