Real Madrid welcome Sevilla at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid on Sunday, Oct 18 at 9:00 PM in a LaLiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Real Madrid come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Sevilla travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Real Madrid won their last outing, while Sevilla suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Real Madrid here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Sevilla, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sevilla won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Real Madrid a slight edge, but Sevilla are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
