Real Madrid v Sevilla Betting Tips [9 May 2021]

This weekend the La Liga race will be shaken up, with each of the four sides in the race facing off. Second placed Real Madrid, with 74 points, will be playing host to fourth placed Sevilla, who have 70 points. In Spain, the Champions League race is already settled; none of the top four teams can drop out. It is now all about the title race and Real are two points below the league leaders Atletico Madrid. Real are coming from a disappointing loss at Chelsea, which marked their elimination from the Champions League at the semi finals. They have a good run in the league and will be looking to propel their title charge even more, having gone unbeaten in 14 league games. They have four straight clean sheets in the league ahead of this game and three wins in the last five. At home, they are unbeaten in the last eight, with six wins and five clean sheets. This season they’ve suffered just three losses at home in the league, and won 12 of the 17. Against Sevilla, Real have four straight wins. Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal are out of this game with injury while Raphael Varane is a major doubt.

Sevilla are coming from a loss to Athletic Bilbao, which took the wind off their sails as far as the league title race is concerned. That defeat left them six points behind the league leaders. It was their first loss in nine matches across all competitions, and in the league, they have five wins in six matches. Sevilla have managed just one clean sheet in the last five league matches but they are unbeaten in the last four away league matches, with three straight wins. They have 10 wins in 17 away league matches this season. Against the top three teams this season, Sevilla have managed just one win in five meetings.

Real Madrid are on four straight clean sheets in the league, while Sevilla have one clean sheet in the last five matches in the league which makes a case for Real winning to nil. Real rarely drops points at this point of the season so a win for the home team here will work.
