Real Madrid vs Sevilla prediction 18.10.2026 | LaLiga

Real Madrid return to domestic action after completing a remarkable comeback in Wednesday's 4:3 Champions League victory against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Jose Mourinho's side trailed 3:1 after Donyell Malen scored twice for the Italians before late goals from Carlos Espi, Endrick and Antonio Rudiger completed a dramatic turnaround.

Los Blancos have now won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Five of their previous six fixtures finished with at least three goals.

The hosts have won all four LaLiga matches at the Bernabeu this season, scoring 13 goals and conceding only two. Three of those victories finished with at least three goals scored.

Real boss Mourinho will be forced into at least one change to his first Xi this weekend. Vinicius Junior is suspended, while Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao and Rodrygo are expected to remain unavailable through injury.

Federico Valverde is doubtful to feature and will require a late fitness check.

Arda Guler and Endrick are among those pushing for recalls after making an impact from the bench in Rome.

Sevilla make the trip to Madrid after conceding a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in Monday's 3:3 draw against Levante.

Robbie Ure and Felix Correia established a two-goal advantage before Isaac Romero’s stoppage-time goal looked likely to seal the points.

However, Ifeanyi Ndukwe struck with virtually the final kick of the match to rescue a point for the hosts.

Luis Garcia's side have improved this season, with 14 points collected from eight league fixtures. Sevilla now sit fifth in the division, four points behind Real Madird.

The visitors have scored in all eight LaLiga fixtures, while five of those games finished with at least three goals scored. 

Defensive issues remain a concern for Garcia’s men. Sevilla conceded three times in defeats against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona before Monday's six-goal thriller.

Head coach Garcia has a handful of injury absentees this weekend. Marcao, Iker Munoz, Nico Guillen and Lucas Stassin are expected to remain sidelined with various injury issues while Ruben Vargas is doubtful.

Scottish forward Ure should continue to lead the attack with Miguel Sierra, Youssouf Fofana and Correia providing support in the final third.
