Another clash at the Bernabeu is set to test the wits and vigor of our players as the woeful season continues. After a win against the Canerians in the last game, the team's defense is now completely dented with big names such as Ramos and Pepe both out due to violations. Ramos got a second yellow and was sent off in the dying moments of the game, whereas Pepe got a yellow card in the game and will serve a game ban due to accumulating 5 yellow cards.

Last time out in the great Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, Los Blancos had suffered a defeat against the Andalucian side which was just before the that infamous elclasico. So, the question still remains, can Real Madrid avenge the loss at the Ramon Sanchez?

Times are so different for both teams now. Real Madrid are prolific at home and on the contrary Sevilla are still to win any game away form home this season (D9 L5). Sevilla have conceded the most shots in La Liga this season (419) and the other hand Real Madrid have the highest amount of shots in all of La Liga (551).

The odds are on favor for the Merengues as they have proved to be good at home rather than away games and Sevilla haven't won a single away game so far in the league. Sevilla are boasting a crushing performance against FC Basel before coming into this game and the royal whites have little to say as they were disappointing against Las Palmas and were able to scrape a lucky win at the Canary Islands. Real Madrid have had more days to prepare for this game than Sevilla. Sevilla will try to press up high the midfield and try to counter more, like we have seen in their recent games. They will try to play more physical rather than wanting to keep the possession. Madrid should try to exploit large amount of gaps on the wings and the box to come on top this stubborn tie. Lets hope that the home side can salvage all three points and make the bernabeu loyal happy.
