27.11.2021 08:00

The fifteenth round of the top Spanish football competition will be concluded with a duel between the first and the third team of the table. Real Madrid will welcome guests from Sevilla at their home stadium.

Basic information, news and team form

Real Madrid has managed to secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League ahead of schedule and can now turn their attention back to the Spanish La Liga. Real Madrid has been able to deal with the problems that weighed them down at the start of the season in the form of cheap goals conceded, and the young Brazilian acquisition of Vinicius has also woken up shooting, having already recorded 8 goals and 2 assists. Real Madrid now sits at the top of the table with 30 points and also boast the best offence in the league, having already managed to score 30 goals in 13 games. Real also boasts great form in the league, having lost only once in their last 31 games, and that was surprisingly against Catalan club Espanyol, where Real recorded a 2-1 defeat. In the remaining matches, however, the royal club has not lost anymore, having managed 22 wins and 8 draws. Who would have guessed that one of the main title aspirants and rivals would not be the Catalan giants Barcelona, but an unassuming team from the south of Seville. Sevilla is now in third place in the table with 28 points, just 2 points behind Real. The Andalusian side is playing in the Champions League this season, just like Real Madrid, and during the week Sevilla played a home game against Wolfsburg, which they managed to win 2-0 after goals from Jordan and substitute Mir. Unlike Real Madrid, however, Sevilla played at home and did not have to travel to far away Moldova and still played their match on Tuesday, so Sevilla could use the extra day to prepare for their opponents. Sevilla hasn't been doing well against Ancelloti's teams so far, as Sevilla has recorded 5 defeats in their last 6 games. Sevilla can at least take solace in the fact that only on one occasion has Ancelloti's team managed to keep a clean sheet, so if Sevilla's strikers have a lucky day and a solid aim, Sevilla can beat even a giant like Real Madrid.
