In the UK, you can watch it on Premier Sports and stream on the Premier Sports Player.Preview for Real Madrid v SevillaReal Madrid were staring at defeat in Rome on Wednesday night but after three goals in seven minutes, Jos Mourinhos side were celebrating one of the great European comebacks of recent years, and they return to the Bernabu on Sunday evening on a massive high.Donyell Malens double had Roma 3-1 up with the clock ticking down at the Olimpico. Then Carlos Esp and Endrick came off the bench to score, and Antonio Rdiger completed a remarkable 4-3 win. It has Madrid on six points from two games in the Champions League.The domestic picture is more pressing. Madrid are fourth in La Liga and with the Clsico at Camp Nou next weekend, they cannot afford to drop points against Sevilla. They bounced back from their 2-1 derby defeat against Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 win over Villarreal last weekend, and they have been very strong at the Bernabu, winning their last four home league games.They will have to do it without Vincius Jnior, though. The Brazilian was sent off against Villarreal for pulling Nathan Salibas hair, and he has been handed a four-match ban. Madrids appeal has been rejected, so he will also miss the Clsico.Sevilla have been one of the surprise packages of the season so far. Luis Garca Plazas side are fifth with 14 points from eight games, just four behind Madrid, which is a huge improvement on the 2024-25 campaign, when they finished 17th and only narrowly avoided relegation. They have also had a full week to prepare, as they havent played since a 3-3 draw at Levante on Monday night.History is heavily against them, though. Sevilla are on a 15-game winless run against Madrid in all competitions, losing 13 of those, and they have lost the last five meetings in a row. Their last league win at the Bernabu came back in December 2008.La Liga Table La Liga 2026 Spain Primera Divisin #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 5 1 Barcelona88003472724 W W W W W 2 Atletico Madrid86111881019 W W W W W 3 Real Betis8611149519 W D W W W 4 Real Madrid86021981118 W L W W L 5 Sevilla84221312114 D L W W D 6 Real Sociedad84131215-313 W W L W D 7 Alaves8323128411 L D L L W 8 Deportivo La Coruna92521312111 D L D L D 9 Celta Vigo81528628 D W D D D 10 Athletic Club62227618 D D W W L 11 Villarreal8224131308 L W W L L 12 Espanyol8224111108 L D L L W 13 Rayo Vallecano72231116-58 D W L W L 14 Getafe8224410-68 L W L D D 15 Racing Santander82241323-108 D L L W L 16 Osasuna8224818-108 L D L L L 17 Levante81431216-47 D D L L D 18 Elche81341117-66 D W L D L 19 Valencia8125615-95 D L W L L 20 Malaga8044413-94 D L L D D Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 6 : Promotion Conference League (Qualification) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation LaLiga2 Team News for Real Madrid v SevillaVincius is suspended, and der Milit�o (muscle), Rodrygo (knee), Ferland Mendy (hip) and Ral Asencio (leg) are all still out.
