Sevilla vs Real Madrid – Match preview and team news

Sevilla team news

Sevilla FC approach their critical home fixture against Real Madrid with a largely stable core. However, manager Luis García Plaza must navigate a few clear roster limitations ahead of kickoff.

Defensive options are thinned as Marcao remains completely out, while midfielder Manu Bueno is similarly sidelined with an ongoing muscle injury.

A major late decision looms over the availability of forward Isaac Romero, who faces an intensive late fitness test after picking up a knock.

On a positive note, midfielder Lucien Agoumé returns directly to squad selection after serving his recent suspension.

In attack, Akor Adams, boasting stellar recent goalscoring form, is fully locked in to lead the front line alongside his standard partner Neal Maupay.

Real Madrid team news

Álvaro Arbeloa deals with a heavily depleted squad. Midfielder Federico Valverde has only partially resumed low-intensity, non-contact training following a concussive head injury suffered in a highly publicised training ground altercation with Aurélien Tchouaméni and will not be risked.

Forward Kylian Mbappé successfully returned from a hamstring injury as a second-half substitute midweek against Real Oviedo and is expected to start, despite visible fan tension and booing.

Medical staff have completely ruled out Arda Güler, Éder Militão, and Ferland Mendy due to ongoing hamstring and thigh issues, while winger Rodrygo remains a long-term absentee with a severe ACL tear.

Additionally, Dean Huijsen and goalkeeper Andriy Lunin require late assessments following recent bouts of illness, though seasoned stars Antonio Rüdiger and Jude Bellingham are slated for immediate starting recalls.

Form

Sevilla

Sevilla FC are experiencing a remarkable late-season resurgence under manager Luis García Plaza, currently riding a stellar three-game winning streak. They bounced back from April defeats to secure consecutive victories over Real Sociedad (1-0), Espanyol (2-1), and most recently a thrilling 3-2 away triumph against Villarreal. This rapid turnaround has successfully elevated the club up to 11th in the La Liga table, effectively extinguishing any mathematical relegation worries.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have endured a highly turbulent stretch, winning only three of their last nine matches. Their title aspirations completely evaporated following a definitive 2-0 El Clasico loss to champions Barcelona. Despite intense dressing room friction, Los Blancos have already secured second place in La Liga.

Predicted lineups

Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Carmona, Castrin, Salas, Suazo; Vargas, Gudelj, Agoume, Oso; Adams, Maupay

Real Madrid: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rudiger, F Garcia; Pitarch, Tchouameni; Brahim, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe
