Overview
Real Madrid have won the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup after beating Mexico's Pachuca 3-0 in the final. The victory also extended their unbeaten streak to four matches, including three wins.
Los Blancos will be confident of winning their next match against Sevilla. Moreover, they will be playing at the Bernabeu, where Real have won 7 out of 8 La Liga matches this season.
The "White Vulture" attack with stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo is gradually finding a common voice. In the last 4 matches, they scored a total of 12 goals, an average of 3 goals per match. In particular, Jude Bellingham is also in impressive form, scoring in all six recent appearances in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Sevilla beat Celta Vigo at the Sanchez Pizjuan with a minimal score in their last match. However, the Andalusian team's fans still have reason to worry before the match with Real Madrid because of their poor away performance.
Sevilla have won just one away game since the start of the season in La Liga, while losing four and drawing the other three.
Sevilla last won against Real Madrid in the competition in September 2018. Since then, they have gone 11 times without a win against Real, losing seven of those.
At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid have won their last three games against Sevilla, not losing a home game against their La Liga opponents since 2008.
Human resources situation
Real Madrid will still be without a series of key defenders such as Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba.
On the other side of the front line, Jesus Navas is expected to start for Sevilla. Meanwhile, Djibril Sow and Tanguy Nianzou may be absent due to injury.
Expected lineup:
Real Madrid: Courtois, Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Garcia, Modric, Bellingham, Camavinga, Diaz, Rodrygo, Vinicius.
Sevilla: Alvaro Fernandez, Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Kike Salas, Manu Bueno, Agoume, Saul, Jesus Navas, Iheanacho, Lukebakio.
The match between Real Madrid and Sevilla takes place at 22:15 on December 22 (Vietnam time).
