Sevilla vs Real Madrid Match Preview: La Liga Showdown

Match at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Sevilla, on 17 May 2026, in La Liga Regular Season - 37, with Sevilla sitting 12th on 43 points and Real Madrid 2nd on 80 points.

Sevilla Availability

Sevilla are missing two players. Manu Bueno (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Marcão (Wrist Injury) is sidelined. Both absences reduce Julen Lopetegui’s rotation options in midfield and defence, but all key attacking figures, including leading scorers Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke (10 league goals each), are available to start.

Real Madrid Availability

Real Madrid face a longer absentee list. Dani Ceballos (Coach’s decision) is sidelined. Éder Militão (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. A. Güler (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 9 La Liga assists. F. Mendy (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Rodrygo (Knee Injury) is sidelined, further trimming Carlo Ancelotti’s forward options. In addition, A. Lunin (Illness) is doubtful, and F. Valverde (Head Injury) is doubtful; Valverde’s potential absence would be another major blow, with 5 goals and 8 assists from midfield.

Impact Summary

Sevilla’s main attacking output remains intact, with Adams and Ejuke combining for 20 goals. Real Madrid, however, lose creativity and depth: Güler’s 4 goals and 9 assists and Rodrygo’s threat in the final third are unavailable, placing greater responsibility on Kylian Mbappé (24 goals, 5 assists) and Vinícius Júnior (15 goals, 5 assists) to carry the visitors’ attack.
