Preview Real Madrid La Liga, Nov 28, 2021
Preview Real Madrid are back in LaLiga after a 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League. David Alaba (30’), Toni Kroos (45+1’) and Karim Benzema (55’) were all on target in the one-sided affair of ninety minutes, having lost to the same side, 2-1, in the reverse fixture, back in September. Back on the home front, Real Madrid continued their show of domestic dominance in the league, having bagged a comfortable 4-1 win over ten-man Granada on Matchday 14. The lesser-known Luis Suárez (34') bagged Granada’s only goal. However, goals from Marco Asensio (19'), Fernandez (25'), Vinicius Jnr. (56'), and Ferland Mendy (76') were enough to see an unrivaled Real Madrid emerge from the clash at the Nuevo Los Cármenes Stadium. Real Madrid have three consecutive victories, WDWWW, reclaiming top spot, having been in second place before the game. Los Blancos have 30 points after 9W, 3D, & 1L, while having a game in hand. The club has a goal ratio of 2.46 g.p.g. this season, having scored 32 goals in 13 La Liga games. They have also conceded 14 goals and have a G.D. of +18. An average of 1.08 goals conceded per game. A 4—3—3 formation with Benzema, Vinicius Jnr., and Rodrygo is expected in attack when Carlo Ancelotti emerges from the tunnel. Dani Ceballos (ankle) and Gareth Bale (calf) are ruled out, while Federico Valverde remains doubtful, along with David Alaba (knee injury).
Preview Sevilla La Liga, Nov 28, 2021
Preview On Tuesday, Sevilla picked up a 2-0 win over the German side, VfL Wolfsburg, in the UEFA Champions League. Last weekend, Sevilla bagged a point in the 2-2 draw against Deportivo Alavés at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The draw saw Sevilla remain in 3rd place, having picked up 28 points from 8W, 4D, and 1L. Sevilla are unbeaten in five games: WDWWD, ahead of this fixture against Real Madrid, and a win on Sunday would see the club topple Madrid on the table if second-placed Real Sociedad fails to defeat Espanyol over the weekend. Sevilla has 23 goals (1.77 goals scored per game) after 13 La Liga games. In addition, Los Palanganas have conceded 9 goals (an average of 0.69 goals per match) so far this season and have a G.D. of +14. Julen Lopetegui could appear with the famous 4—3—3 formation against Madrid, having Rafa Mir, Lucas Ocampos and Erik Lamela (doubtful) in attack. Sevilla will be without Youssef En-Nesyri and Jesus Navas, while Suso remains in doubt.
