Real Madrid will visit Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan on
Wednesday night to take on Sevilla in their outstanding game of the Spanish la
liga.
Their last outing against Barcelona
in the traditional El classic at Camp Nou ended in a 2-2 scoreline which saw
the two sides share the spoils at the end of both intervals. The reigning
European champions were unable to end rivals Barcelona’s unbeaten stint in the
La Liga on Sunday despite playing a full interval against 10 men at Camp Nou.
Cristiano Ronaldo suffered an injury scare in the game
against Barcelona which prompted Real Boss Zidane to replace him at the
beginning of the second interval with Marcos Asensio. Zidane and the club have
confirmed that the injury is not serious but have decided to give him time to
rest and recover his fitness. Although different soccer predications, suggest that
the rest is because of champions league final. Gareth Bale foul in the first
interval led to his suspension. The Welsh attacker was on target in the 2-2
draw in the weekend but was also on the booking list for a wreck-less foul on
Nelson Samedo in the second interval.
The unavailability of the two attackers will certainly
mean that Zidane might definitely reshuffle his squad at Sevilla with the likes
of Isco, Vasquez and Mayoral expected to feature in the fixture. Zidane might
also make changes at the back as Daniel Carvajal remains on the sidelines. Real
Madrid have not won at Sevilla since May 2015 as Zidane’s side have recorded a
draw and two defeats in their last 3 matches.
This have prompted Zidane to
expect a tough challenge from the 8th position Rojiblancos side. "When we
are playing against a team with a lot on the line, we have to make a good
start," he added. "At home, they will try to pressure us. “We have to
do things well right from the start. The longer we do things well, the better
chance we have of getting something out of the game."
A Victory for Real Madrid could push them level points
with local rivals Athletico Madrid. Real Madrid superior goal difference will
put them in second place. Sevilla will be desperate to get the victory as it
puts them back to seventh position and also increases their chances of playing
in a European competition next season with Villareal within reach.
