Real Madrid v Sevilla Prediction, Preview

Zinedine Zidane will struggle to make a team to face Sevilla in the first game of 2017. Los Blancos play at Santiago Bernabéu almost one month later they beat Deportivo in the very last minute.

 In the meantime, they’ve won another trophy for the museum, in the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

The team might be exhausted after a long trip and Zidane has several players injured. The French manager has not called Cristiano Ronaldo in the list, who will rest. Besides, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Lucas Vázquez or Mateo Kovacic are all injured after the final against Kashima Antlers. James Rodríguez, Morata or Kiko Casilla should start the game.

Sevilla are in good form after thrashing Celta and Málaga in the last two games of La Liga. Jorge Sampaoli cannot count with Franco Vázquez sanctioned and Tremoulinas and Krohn-Dehli are out with different injuries.
