Real Madrid
- José Mourinho has Real Madrid set up in a compact 4-2-3-1 system which is very disciplined out of possession and ready to counterattack in the quickest time possible.
- It's a system that allows their elite-level players the freedom to operate when the ball is played up top.
- Kylian Mbappé is certainly in that category of players and he's the X-factor in this matchup.
- The Frenchman has seven LaLiga goals in seven games and sits top of the LaLiga 2026/2027 scoring table.
Sevilla
- Los Nervionenses Sevilla are heading to the capital on the back of two straight defeats and arrive under some pressure at the table.
- Their away form has been solid, going unbeaten in three away matches, winning two and drawing one.
- However, they have failed to take the three points on any of their last three visits to Real Madrid and Los Blancos will be a hard ask at the Estadio Bernabeu.
- Luis García Plaza has Sevilla set up in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, with a strong middle block and counter-attacking style.
