Real Madrid v Sevilla

Real Madrid will have revenge on their minds when they play host to Sevilla in round 25 of La Liga. Sevilla handed Real their first loss of the season when the two sides met earlier in the year.

The merengues are presently in 2nd place of the La Liga log with 59 points from 24 matches. They sit 2 points behind Barcelona and lead the 3rd place Valencia by 13 points in what has obviously become a 2 team race for the title. The side managed by Chilean boss Manuel Pellegrini have won their last two games by a combined score of 11 to 3 with their most recent win being 1-5 rout of Tenerife on the road at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. The team is currently reporting that Karim Benzema is listed as doubtful.

After a promising start to the season, Sevilla have faded of late. While they are unbeaten over their last 3 matches with 2 wins and 1 draw, the side managed by Manolo Jimenez have dropped to 4th place in the league table with 43 points, 3 points ahead of the 5th place Mallorca and 3 points behind the 3rd place Valencia. Brazilian international striker Luis Fabiano is presently a slight doubt for this game as he did not return from international duty at top fitness.
