Real Madrid take on the visitors Sevilla in the round of 16 match in Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 4th at Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
Real Madrid are showing impressive results in all competitions this season and have already maintained handicap before life-long rivals Barcelona. Things look perfect at first sight but there is room for improvement. For instance, Zidane’s men played 12 home matches in all competitions and manage to record only one clean sheet (3-0 against Leganes) and conceded at least once in each of other 11 matches which means both teams scored in 11 out of 12 games. Real’s goal difference in home league matches, 19-9, tells us that the team averages over two scored and one allowed goals per match.

Jorje Sampaoli managed to improve away results on the team and now Sevilla, who hadn’t taken a single away league win last season, battle in every game on the road. As the result, the team have three wins, three draws and two defeats in eight away LaLiga matches this term. Sevilla played 13 matches at opponents’ stadiums and failed to score at least one goal in four of these games. On top of that, three of these four matches were at the very beginning of the season when new manager was adjusting his team.
Real Madrid have advantage in head-to-heads with any Spanish team except Barcelona, but the odds for victory of the hosts are too low considering they face third team of the league. The opponents combined at least three goals in four out of five recent matches against each other while both teams scored in three of these games. Both teams can be considered as favorites of the competition and we should expect a fierce battle with numerous scored goals on both sides of the pitch.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals + Both teams to score – yes.
