Sevilla host Real Madrid at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on May 17, 2026, in a La Liga 2025/26 fixture that carries enormous stakes for both sides. The hosts are fighting for survival and can secure their top-flight status with a win, while Los Blancos arrive amid off-pitch turmoil despite their steadily improving form on the road.
Match Preview
A Real Madrid side embroiled in off-pitch chaos could be vulnerable to the in-form hosts Sevilla, who can guarantee their survival with a win here. Momentum is well and truly on Sevilla’s side in the incredibly populated battle against relegation from La Liga, as they recovered from 2-0 down to win 3-2 away at high-flying Villarreal. Luis García Plaza’s men have established a four-point lead over the drop zone with just two games left thanks to a three-match winning streak. Sevilla last won four successive top-flight fixtures in April 2021, and must fancy their chances of doing so again here having also earned three consecutive home wins, two of which came against top-eight opposition.
Even in a routine 2-0 victory over Real Oviedo, Real Madrid remained the centre of a media storm after Kylian Mbappé claimed to have been demoted to “fourth-choice striker” by boss Álvaro Arbeloa. That only serves to distract from Los Blancos’ steadily improving form, as while last week’s 2-0 El Clásico defeat to Barcelona saw them surrender the title race, it’s their only defeat in five outings. While no team in the division losing fewer away games than Madrid’s four indicates that they relish a return to the road, one win in their last five competitive trips hints that their travelling momentum is starting to wane.
Madrid have won each of the last four head-to-heads and are unbeaten against Sevilla since September 2018. Los Blancos have also won five of their last six visits to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
