Sevilla – Real Madrid, Picks and Tips
Sevilla managed to win the previous round their first game after a run of four consecutive games without a win in all competitions. The Andalusians got their revenge on regional rivals Granada, whom they beat 4-2. Diego Carlos, Lucas Ocampos, Rafa Mir and Alejandro Gomez scored for Julen Lopetegui's side. Earlier, Los Nervionenses had been beaten 1-0 by Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Sevilla are third in the Primera Division, level on points but with a game in hand over Barcelona. The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan club was recently eliminated from the competition it has dominated in recent years, the UEFA Europa League, after a 1-2 aggregate win over West Ham United.
Madrid, on the other hand, are coming off the back of an unexpected qualification to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Victorious 3-1 at Stamford Brdige in the first leg vs Chelsea, the Spaniards found themselves trailing by the same score after 90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Karim Benzema's goal was ultimately decisive and the Blancos reach the penultimate round of the league where they will face Manchester City. In the league, Real are coming off wins over Getafe (2-0) and Celta Vigo (2-1). Carlo Ancelotti's boys are the authoritative leaders of this LaLiga season. The Galacticos are currently 12 points ahead of Barcelona, who are a game down.
