The side managed by Jose Mourinho arrives in high spirits after producing a spectacular comeback away to AS Roma (4-3) in the UEFA Champions League, inspired by the impact of players such as Endrick.

With no room to lose further ground on the leaders before next week's Clasico, the Chamartín fortress represents a guarantee for the hosts: they have won seven consecutive home games in the domestic league, scoring exactly four goals in four of their last five matches on home soil.

Despite the significant absence of the suspended Vinicius Junior (a four-match ban), Los Blancos will rely on Kylian Mbappé - who has registered four goal involvements in four games against Sevilla - to maintain their dominance.

Meanwhile, Sevilla head to the capital having made their best start after eight rounds in five years (W4 D1 L3), although they were left frustrated after conceding a 100th-minute equaliser to make it 3-3 against Levante last time out.

Luis Garcia's side are the only team to have scored first in every away game this season and remain unbeaten on the road (W2 D2), making this their best away start since the 2011/12 campaign.

However, Chamartin has historically been an insurmountable nightmare for the Nervion outfit, who have suffered 16 defeats in their last 17 league visits to Castellana (D1) and have not won there since December 2008. 

In addition, the Andalusian side will be without the suspended Isaac Romero and the injured Miguel Sierra, leaving Scottish forward Robbie Ure as their main attacking outlet.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla Tips

Real Madrid to win by 2 or more goals - 8/13 @ bet365

Real Madrid to score in both halves - 4/6 @ bet365

Sevilla to score exactly 0 goals - 10/11 @ bet365

Odds correct at the time of writing, subject to change.

Clear superiority at the Chamartín fortress

For the first prediction, the overwhelming historical dominance and the white side's recent home form support a highly attractive handicap line.

Real Madrid have won seven consecutive matches at the Santiago Bernabéu in LaLiga and are unbeaten against Sevilla in their last 15 league meetings (W13 D2).

This is reinforced by the authority with which Mourinho's side settle their home fixtures: five of Real Madrid's last seven home wins in official matches have come by a margin of two or more goals.

Against a Sevilla side enduring their worst-ever run away to the Madrid club (16 defeats in 17 matches), the prospect of a home win by at least two goals is backed by compelling statistics at odds of 1.66.

Tip: Madrid to win by 2 or more goals - 8/13 @ bet365

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Real Madrid beat Sevilla by a margin of two or more goals (for example, 2-0, 3-1, 3-0, 4-1).

Consistent goalscoring across both halves

For the second selection, we are analysing the Merengues' scoring momentum and the high-pressing approach both sides are expected to adopt.

Real Madrid lead LaLiga for shots created following a high regain (17), while Sevilla make more recoveries in the opposition half than any other team in the competition (87), setting the scene for a breathless transition game from the opening whistle.

With game-changers such as Kylian Mbappe making an impact from the early stages and fresh legs such as Endrick (who has scored six of his last seven goals after half-time) contributing after the break, Real Madrid are accustomed to maintaining their goalscoring output throughout the 90 minutes.

Against a visiting defence that conceded three goals in their last outing, odds of 1.72 on the hosts scoring in both the first and second halves offer fantastic value.

Tip: Real Madrid to score in both halves - 4/6 @ bet365

Bet explanation: The bet wins if Real Madrid score at least one goal in the first half and at least one goal in the second half.

Value odds amid Sevilla's absences

For the third recommendation, we are drawing on Real Madrid's defensive record against the Nervión side and the attacking handicap facing the visitors.

Although Sevilla have made a good start away from home, the suspension of first-choice striker Isaac Romero drastically reduces Luis García's options up front, placing the goalscoring responsibility on the young Robbie Ure.

This is compounded by the strength of the records at Chamartin, where Real Madrid have kept the Andalusian side scoreless in several recent meetings (two of the last three, with 2-0 and 1-0 wins) and are looking to extend their longest-ever run without conceding against this opponent.

With the defensive solidity Mourinho demands ahead of the Clasico, the odds of Sevilla failing to score during the 90 minutes are an attractive 2.00.

Tip: Sevilla score exactly 0 goals - 10/11 @ bet365

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Sevilla fail to score in the match (Real Madrid keep a clean sheet).
