Madrid to triumph in a real cracker

Top-two sides in La Liga clash to spark your Sunday evening to life

The top-two ranked sides in La Liga clash on Sunday evening in the bill-topper from match-day 18. Zinedine Zidane takes his hard-hitting Real Madrid side to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium where plucky underdogs Sevilla bare their teeth.

Here at Coral towers we’ve put on a feast of betting markets to help boost your enjoyment of the match. The only thing better than a big-game, is a winning bet in a big-game! Let’s look at where the smart money goes…..

Sevilla turning up the heat

Sevillistas go into the round on 36-points, one better than a stuttering Barcelona and only four behind their visitors. With Real having a game-in-hand, as well as that points advantage, everyone in the home dressing room will be well-versed on the importance of giving nothing away.

Lead by head coach Jorge Sampaoli – the 56-year-old famous for making it to the final-three of the 2015 World Coach of the Year award, eventually won by Barcelona’s Luis Enrique – Sevilla’s CV for the season reads 11 wins and three draws against just three defeats. Two of those negatives have come in their last 10, against Barcelona and Granada, both by a 2-1 score, but they’ll take heart from a hat-trick of wins in their last three starts, beating Celta Vigo, Malaga and Real Sociedad, all with plenty to spare.

With two of that trio coming without conceding a goal, and all by a three-goal margin, at least, supporters of the locals will be enthused to see Coral offering a heavyweight 15/2 on Sevilla to win to nil, or 7/1 for -1 on the handicap. The home win trades at 5/2, regardless of how that’s achieved.
