Real Madrid's form going into the Sevilla match
Real Madrid have won five of their last six matches, taking 15 points, and they have won all three played at home. Four days before this fixture they won 4-3 away to AS Roma in the UEFA Champions League. Eight days before it, they beat Villarreal 1-0 at the Bernabeu.
Before that: a 1-2 defeat away to Atletico Madrid 28 days before this match, a 3-2 win away to Elche, a 4-1 win at home to Rayo Vallecano and a 2-1 win at home to Inter.
They are not watertight. Real Madrid have conceded two or more in three of those six, there were three or more goals in the game in five of the six, and both sides scored in five. One clean sheet in six.
Sevilla's form going into the Bernabeu
Sevilla have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six, and their problem is at the other end: they have scored two or more goals in just one of those six matches. The exception was a 3-3 draw away to Levante UD six days before this fixture.
The rest of the run is tight at best and heavy at worst. Sevilla lost 1-3 at home to Aston Villa in a friendly 16 days before this match and 1-3 at home to FC Barcelona 29 days before it. The two wins were both 1-0, away to Deportivo de A Coruna and at home to Valencia, and both were clean sheets. They drew 1-1 away to Espanyol 42 days before this match.
On the road, Sevilla have won one of three.
Team news
Real Madrid are without Vinicius Junior, who is serving a four-match LaLiga suspension after his red card against Villarreal, while Rodrygo (knee), Eder Militao (hamstring), Ferland Mendy (thigh) and Raul Asencio (leg) are all out injured, according to Sports Mole, with Militao expected back before the end of October.
Sevilla have their own problems. Jon Guridi has an adductor injury that is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks, Miguel Sierra faces months out with the shoulder injury he picked up against Levante, and Isaac Romero is suspended, per Madrid Universal. Giorgi Kochorashvili has a muscle strain but is expected to travel.
What happened the last time Real Madrid played Sevilla?
Real Madrid won 1-0 in Seville on 17 May 2026, 154 days before this fixture - Sevilla 0-1 Real Madrid, with Sevilla at home. One goal settled it, which fits what Sevilla do more than what Real Madrid do.
Luis Garcia Plaza is not pretending otherwise. The Sevilla coach said he expects "the best Madrid" and that "unless we play a great game, we'll lose, because that's only logical", adding that two Madrid goals would end the contest, as reported by Yahoo Sports. Alvaro Arbeloa's side have given up at least two goals in three of their last six, so Sevilla will get sight of goal. Scoring more than once is the thing they have managed once in six.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla prediction
Our prediction for Real Madrid vs Sevilla in LaLiga at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, 18 October 2026 is a Real Madrid win, 3-1. Real Madrid have won all three of their home matches in this run and there were three or more goals in five of their last six, so a tidy, low-scoring night looks unlikely. Sevilla have scored two or more once in six and have won one of three away. Madrid's defending is loose enough that Sevilla should get one.
Our prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Sevilla
