Sevilla vs Real Madrid: La Liga Prediction (19.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 19 at 00:00 WIB, local football club Sevilla will host Real Madrid at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in the penultimate 37th round of the 2024–2025 Spanish La Liga season. The prediction for the Sevilla vs Real Madrid match takes into account the high motivation of both sides: the hosts are fighting to avoid relegation, while the visitors are aiming for top positions.

Sevilla

Joaquín Caparrós, who was appointed head coach in mid-April to replace Francisco García Pimienta, is aware that the club’s management does not intend to offer him a contract for next season. The club is actively searching for a high-profile coach who can implement major reforms and restore Los Nervionenses to a high level of performance.

In the meantime, the red-and-white team is trying to extract the maximum number of points from the remaining matches to stay out of the relegation zone. Clearly, doing this against a motivated Real Madrid side will be extremely difficult. The team still struggles in attack, so it’s evident that Sevilla will focus on deep defensive play and aim at least for a draw.

Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti will also be leaving the club at the end of the current season. The Italian has been coaching Los Galacticos since 2021 and has achieved significant success with this star-studded squad. In the current La Liga campaign, Real Madrid has not been able to match Barcelona in terms of goal output, despite having one of the most dangerous attacking lines: Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.

Real Madrid concedes few goals, even though they have a long list of injured defenders. Eder Militão, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Eduardo Camavinga have been out for a long time, and in early May, Antonio Rüdiger also joined the injury list. It’s hard to count how many tens of millions in defensive assets Madrid has lost to injury.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

Since 2022, the two teams have met six times, with Real Madrid winning five of those matches and one ending in a draw. In the first round of this season’s La Liga in the Spanish capital, Los Galacticos thrashed Sevilla 4–2. The goals for Madrid were scored by Mbappé, Valverde, Rodrygo, and Díaz.

Prediction

It’s hard to imagine what could prevent the favorites from repeating their success from the first round of La Liga. Los Nervionenses are no better at home than they are away. The visitors are coming strictly for three points, and to get them, they won’t even need to exert themselves too much — playing at their usual level should be enough. The prediction: Real Madrid to win with a -1.5 handicap.
