The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Sevilla take on Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important clash at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla Preview
Sevilla are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Andalusian outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate against Valencia last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. Los Blancos were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Real Madrid have an impressive recent record against Sevilla and have won 36 out of the last 57 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Sevilla's 16 victories.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction
Real Madrid have an impressive squad at their disposal and have thrived under Carlo Ancelotti this season. Jude Bellingham has unlocked his goalscoring potential at the club and will look to make his mark this weekend.
Sevilla can pack a punch on their day but have a poor record at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
