Real Madrid will host Sevilla at their home ground within the round of 16 of the Spanish Cup, i.e. the teams which fight for the victory in 2016-17 Primera, meet on such an early stage. Real Madrid players are obvious favorites of the upcoming game, but one should not forget about the fact, that the Red-and-Whites have learned to play away in the current season, and managed to get more than one victory outside their native walls.
Zinedine Zidane is looking forward to win both domestic trophies, i.e. Primera and Copa del Rey. The French specialist wouldn’t mind to win the Champions League as well, but the priority is clearly the domestic competitions. In that case the players’ in white motivation for the upcoming game, but the competitor is far from weak.
After 16 played rounds in Primera, Sevilla are on the third place of the championship’s tournament table, which is unconditional growth for the team. Wherein, outside the native walls the Red-and-Whites have had eight games in the Spanish championship, in which they had three wins with three draws and two defeats. The statistics says, that Los Nervionenses have finally learned to play not only at Pizjuan, but away as well.
Real will probably win in the forthcoming game, but there is doubt that the Royals will get the victory easily. Sevilla do not mind to fight for the Spanish trophy themselves, and it should be noted, that the guests are a cup team.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla to win with +2.0 Asian handicap.
