Real Madrid Form & Balance Check
Real Madrid have been in captivating form since the start of the season. The royals have only lost two games so far this season, one each in La Liga (1-2 against Espanyol Barcelona) and in the Champions League (1-2 against Sheriff Tiraspol). In La Liga, Real are at the top of the table with 30 points after 13 games. With 32 goals scored, the white ballet is also the most dangerous offensive team in Spain. In the Champions League, Real booked their ticket to the last 16 with a 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Wednesday. On the sixth and final matchday, the royals welcome Inter Milan for the match to win the group. A draw will be enough for them.
Toni Kroos in outstanding form
In the first seven games of the season in La Liga, Toni Kroos had still been missing for the Royals with a pubic bone injury. Since the German has been fit again and can play over 90 minutes, Real have not lost a game. In the last three games, “Querpass-Toni”, as he is called by many critics, has even discovered scoring goals. He scored against Rayo Vallencano (2:1) as well as against Sheriff Tiraspol (3:0) in the Champions League. He added two assists against FC Granada (4-1).
Real Madrid facts & analysis
– won three league games in a row
– unbeaten in eight competitive matches
– scored 13 goals in last five competitive matches
Sevilla form & balance check
Sevilla FC have also only lost two competitive games this season. Just like Real Madrid one in the league (0:1 against FC Granada) and one in the Champions League (1:2 against OSC Lille). Unlike Madrid, however, Sevilla are not yet in the next round of the top flight. With six points after five group games, the Andalusians are in third place in Group G behind OSC Lille (8 points), RB Salzburg (7 points) and ahead of VFL Wolfsburg (5 points). In the last group match, it will be a direct duel with RB Salzburg for a place in the knockout phase. Should Lille lose against VFL Wolfsburg in the parallel match, the group victory is still possible.
Unbeaten in La Liga for six games
Sevilla FC are unbeaten in six games in La Liga, which is one of the reasons why they are in third place in the table with 28 points. In this period, however, Sevilla FC has mainly played against teams from the lower half of the table. The decisive matches are still to come. After the visit of Real Madrid, the Andalusians still have two home games against the champions Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona with new coach Xavi in December. Sevilla are currently two points ahead of Atletico Madrid and eight points ahead of FC Barcelona.
Sevilla facts & analysis
– six league games in a row unbeaten (4 wins & 2 defeats).
– lost only one of their last nine competitive matches (1:2 against OSC Lille)
– scored in seven consecutive competitive matches
Predicted line-up – last update on 26 November 2021
After the strong performance of both teams in the Champions League, there should be no big reason for the coaches to make personnel changes in the starting eleven before the top match. We expect Sevilla to play in a classic 4-3-3, but Julen Lopetegui could also opt for a more defensive formation in view of the away game in Madrid. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will most certainly play with the above line-up in a 4-3-3 system.
