Expect a lively night under the lights and a full house of 42,714.

The numbers at a glance

Real Madrid lead most team stats this season: 72 goals scored to Sevilla’s 46, and only 33 conceded compared to Sevilla’s 58. Madrid average 59% possession and 89.7% pass accuracy, while Sevilla sit near 51% possession with 81.2% accuracy. Shot volume also favors the visitors at 640 attempts and 244 on target, against Sevilla’s 414 and 129.

Chance creation reflects that gap. Madrid have 113 big chances and 82 big chances created, more than double Sevilla’s 49 and 38. Clean sheets lean their way too, 13 to 6. On Sofascore’s team scale, Real Madrid’s average Sofascore Rating is 7.04, ahead of Sevilla at 6.74.

Sevilla’s approach and probable XI

Luis Garcia’s side is listed in a 4-4-2 with Odysseas Vlachodimos in goal. The back line features José Ángel Carmona, Andres Castrin, Kike Salas and Gabriel Suazo. In midfield, Ruben Vargas, Lucien Agoumé, Nemanja Gudelj and Oso support a front two of Akor Adams and Neal Maupay.

Sevilla have been strong in the air with a 52.9% aerial duel win rate and rack up corners, 175 so far. They also carry a fast-break threat, with 40 transitions leading to 6 goals. Discipline will matter: 523 fouls and 102 yellows suggest managing the tempo and press will be key, especially at home.

Real Madrid’s likely setup and threats

Álvaro Arbeloa’s listed shape is a 4-2-3-1 with Thibaut Courtois in goal. The back four includes Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rüdiger, Dean Huijsen and Fran García. Aurélien Tchouaméni anchors midfield with Thiago Pitarch, while Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham operate behind a front line headlined by Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé.

The visitors combine control with incision. They complete 62.9% of long balls and win 55.1% of total duels, including 57.3% in the air. There is firepower everywhere, from Mbappé and Vinícius to Bellingham’s late runs, and Madrid have produced 52 fast breaks with 8 goals to show for it.

Details that could swing it

Set pieces and wide play offer openings. Sevilla have delivered 595 crosses and earned 175 corners, while Real Madrid have 570 crosses and 233 corners. Sevilla are often caught offside more frequently, 99 times to Madrid’s 68, so timing runs will be crucial.

Keep an eye on the referee, José María Sánchez Martínez, who has shown 2,143 yellow cards and 43 reds in 392 matches. That profile, paired with Sevilla’s higher foul count, could shape the rhythm. In goal, Vlachodimos has 97 saves this season, while Courtois has 80, hinting at busy penalty areas at both ends.
