This Saturday, October 21, Real Madrid will visit Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium for the tenth day of LaLiga from Spain.
Because it is important
After the break for international matches, both teams arrive in very different situations: Real Madrid, leader of the local competition, has 24 points from eight wins and one loss. Sevilla, for its part, has a new coach with the Uruguayan Diego Alonso and is navigating in the uncertainty of fourteenth position, according to two victories, two draws and four setbacks in eight appearances.
Merengue will begin a string of complicated matches at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, including the midweek match against Braga as a visitor in UEFA Champions Leagueand the LaLiga classic against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu next Saturday.
Sevilla will not have an easy time of things ahead either, since on Wednesday they will host Arsenal in the Champions League and on Saturday he will appear again in the domestic tournament with his visit to Cadiz.
Players to watch
Real Madrid will once again show off its brightest jewel of the season, the British Jude Bellingham, who has already scored ten goals in the White House, eight in LaLiga and two in the Champions League.

Bellingham was the necessary relief that Carlo Ancelotti needed in the face of Karim Benzema’s departure to Arab football and the early injury of Vinicius, who has now fully recovered for the match.
In Madrid, eyes are on the recovery of David Alaba – he could enter the eleven alongside Antonio Rüdiger – and Arda Güler, who missed the start of the season due to injury and are already close to returning to the field.
For its part, Sevilla will bet on the creation of the Croatian Ivan Rakitic, the Belgian Dodi Lukébakio and the Argentines Marcos Acuña and Lucas Ocampos as ways of breaking for the rival defense. Also from the albiceleste, Erik Lamela recovered from an ailment in the rectus femoris of the right quadriceps and could be a part of the game.
This is how they arrive
Real Madrid arrives in a luxurious moment for the clash against Sevilla as a visitor, with 24 points in nine appearances. They only lost to Atlético Madrid 3-1, the rest were all wins.

Sevilla navigates uncertainty and will have Diego Alonso on the bench in his debut as coach of the team. They are fourteenth, with two wins, two draws and four falls in eight appearances. There is only room to lift to escape from the back stalls.
The last precedent
They played against each other on May 27, 2023 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with Merengue winning 2-1 with goals from Rodrygo. Rafa Mir had opened the scoring for the locals. Marcos Acuña was sent off in the 83rd minute.
Sevilla’s last victory against Real Madrid dates back to September 29, 2018, when Pablo Machín’s team beat Julen Lopetegui’s Real Madrid 3-0, with a double from André Silva and another goal from Ben Yedder.
