Real Madrid vs Sevilla prediction 25.02.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Sunday, 25th February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)

Throughout most of the season, Girona and Real Madrid were neck and neck atop the La Liga table. However, during the last two matches, Real Madrid, also known as Los Blancos, pulled ahead by six points following a head-to-head victory and a loss by Girona against Athletic Bilbao. Despite more matches to be played, it appears that Real Madrid has taken a significant leap towards clinching the La Liga title. The odds makers have pegged them as the unquestionable favorites for the title, with the odds standing at a mere 1.05. In addition, Los Blancos are excellently positioned in the UCL, having won the first leg match against RB Leipzig (1:0) on the road. They now only need a draw at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu to proceed to the Quarter-Finals.

Without a doubt, Sevilla has been a significant letdown this season. Despite having a subpar La Liga season last year and finishing 11th, their Europa League title salvaged the year. Unfortunately, this year, the Andalusian team’s performance was substandard in all competitions. Currently, they sit in 15th place with 24 points from 25 rounds, a mere seven points clear of the relegation zone. However, Sevilla has managed to remain unbeaten in their last four matches, securing victories against formidable teams such as Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla pick: Under 3.5 goals

Real Madrid have been strong on the offensive throughout the season, netting an average of 2.12 goals per game in La Liga. However, the injury Bellingham sustained during the Girona match triggered a considerable setback in their offensive play. In the two matches that followed without Bellingham against RB Leipzig and Rayo Vallecano, Los Blancos managed to score just two goals. Despite this, it is their exceptional defensive performances that secure their position at the top of La Liga. Their defense has been outstanding of late, even amid numerous injuries. They conceded only two goals in their last five games across all competitions.

Recently, Sevilla has been involved in low-scoring matches. Over the course of their last five games, they have not exceeded 3.5 goals and have averaged just 1.4 goals per game. Furthermore, their defensive performance has been remarkable, managing to prevent Atletico Madrid and Valencia from scoring in their last two games.

In the last head-to-head match in October, it was a 1:1 draw. Taking into account this past game and other factors, particularly the impressive defensive play from both teams, we are confident that betting on under 3.5 goals is the most secure choice for this match.
