Andy Carroll will miss out against his former club along with Michail Antonio, Pedro Obiang and Diafra Sakho who are all still injured.

Roberto Firminho and Lucas Leiva could feature but are doubts due to muscular problems.

Daniel Sturridge could be in line for a starting place after coming off the bench in the last few games and Adam lallana should also feature.

Phillipe Coutinho has been highlighted many times but he is a class act. His dribbling and vision of the game is  brilliant and he is still only 24. He will enjoy the space on the large field at the Olympic Stadium and looks likely to be on the scoresheet once again.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla – Match Preview

Real Madrid vs Sevilla – Match Preview

La Liga, Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid 7pm

 

Real Madrid take on Sevilla at the Bernabeu in La Liga on Sunday night and Zinedine Zidane’s side must win to keep a dream double alive in their last home game of the season.

Real are currently 2nd in the table to Barcelona and though both teams are on 84 points, Barcelona’s head to head form is inferior to the Madrid side. Madrid do have one game in hand against Celta Vigo, which takes place on Wednesday.

If Real can win all three of their remainding fixtures, they will be league champions and Zidane could potentially end the season as the first Real Madrid manager since 1958 to win both the league and Champions League in the same season.

Sevilla have had a good season, with manager Jorge Sampaoli and his men reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League and his side currently 4th in La Liga. Sevilla need just one point to guarantee a Champions League spot for next season.

Team News

Gareth Bale looks set to miss the remainder of the season due to a calf problem. Bale has only made 17 starts for Los Merengues and the Welsh attacker is struggling to be fit for the Champions League final against Juventus in his hometown. Daniel Carvajal could also miss out after suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League semi final with Atletico Madrid.

Paulo Sarabia will miss the game due to suspension for Sevilla while Vicente Iborra, Adil Rami and Mariano Ferreira are doubtful.

Isco has filled the void of Gareth Bale in fantastic fashion. The 25 year old Spanish international is usually used as a substitute but whilst Bale has been injured, Isco has scored vital goals that have seen Madrid reach their current standings.

16 starting appearances and 12 from the bench have seen the Spanish midfielder scoring 10 goals in the league and with Isco is such great form, it is hard to doubt who their current ‘Galactico’ is.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 23 goals against Sevilla in all competitions, making  Los Blanquirrojos his favourite side to score against.

  • Skybet RequestAbet Up to 10/1 – Real Madrid to score 2+ goals and 9+ Real Madrid corners – 5/2
  • Skybet RequestAbet Up to 10/1 – A player sent off and a penalty awarded – 11/2

Plenty with chances today with trials taking place for future race entries. My selections are at the smallest stakes as it could be a trappy day and have looked for a few outsiders that could run well. I think Pastoral Player will have a good chance seeing as Hughie Morrison’s stable are in good heart at the moment.
