With the La Liga title now secured by their competitors, Real Madrid’s final two league matches hold little significance.
Currently at 78 points after 36 matches, Madrid is firmly in second place, unable to ascend or descend in the standings.
This allows Carlo Ancelotti to use his last two matches to focus on his exit and personnel rotation due to a significant number of injuries within the squad.
Similarly, Sevilla’s final matches are also inconsequential as they sit in 14th place, comfortably above the relegation zone while trailing by seven points behind the European qualification places.
Sevilla vs. Real Madrid lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
Sevilla suffered multiple injuries during their prior match, a narrow 1-0 victory against Las Palmas at home on Tuesday. Defender Kike Salas had to be substituted just before halftime due to a muscle issue, likely ruling him out.
On a more positive note, Alvaro Garcia Pascual and Djibril Sow, who were substituted early in the match, are working towards fitness, although both trained individually on Friday. If Pascual is unavailable, Isaac Romero is expected to start in the forward position after serving a suspension due to yellow card accumulation.
Arsenal loanee Albert Lokonga has returned to full training and is expected to feature, despite being substituted early in his last appearance. The only remaining injuries for Sevilla involve Akor Adams, Tanguy Nianzou, and Ruben Vargas, who are anticipated to miss the match.
Sevilla predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left):Nyland (GK) — J. Sanchez, Bade, R. Martinez, Carmona — Agoume, Gudelj — Suso, Lokonga, Lukebakio — Romero
Injured: Pascual (undisclosed, doubtful), Sow (undisclosed, doubtful), Salas (muscle), Adams (thigh), Hormigo (muscle), Nianzou (thigh), Vargas (hamstring)
Suspended: None
Real Madrid is facing a host of injuries within its first-team lineup. Only Kylian Mbappe remains fit among the top three, while Vinicius Jr. is still recovering from an ankle injury, and Rodrygo is sidelined due to a thigh injury obtained during training.
The defensive situation is dire, as Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, and Lucas Vazquez are all unavailable. While Aurelien Tchouameni will return from suspension, it remains uncertain whether he will be positioned in defense or midfield, particularly after young Jacobo Ramon marked a memorable debut against Mallorca.
Brahim Diaz is out with a muscle injury, and Jude Bellingham is likely facing shoulder surgery for a long-standing problem, although the timing is still uncertain.
Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-4-2, right to left):Courtois (GK) — Valverde, Ramon, Asencio, F. Garcia — Guler, Ceballos, Tchouameni, Bellingham — Endrick, Mbappe
Injured: Lunin (hand, doubtful), Rodrygo (hamstring, doubtful), Vinicius Jr (ankle), Rudiger (knee), B. Diaz (thigh), Carvajal (ACL), Alaba (knee), Militao (ACL), Camavinga (groin), Mendy (quad), L. Vazquez (thigh)
Suspended: None
