Sevilla’s new boss will have a tough outing as he starts against leaders Real Madrid. This match at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium on Saturday will see the hosts 14th in the table with only two points above the bottom-three, while the visitors are top with a two-point advantage. Sevilla drew 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano before the international break. That made it just one defeat across their last seven competitive matches. This sequence has seen them win two and draw four matches. In the league, they have recovered from starting the season with three straight defeats, losing only one across their next five. During this sequence, they have won and drawn two matches, losing only one. Yet, the sacking of Jose Luis Mendilibar last week and the arrival of new coach Diego Alonso keeps them on their toes.

Real Madrid is probably the toughest opponent to face in his first match. The visitors went into the break with a 4-0 win over Osasuna making it four straight competitive wins, including three in a row. In the league, Madrid have won eight of their nine matches with their lone loss coming against town rivals Atletico Madrid. The visitors remain one of the best scorers in the division, with their tally of 20 goals better than every club other than Barcelona. It is their defensive record that keeps Madrid at the top as they conceded a league-low six goals in this season. That included three clean sheets in five away league games, although their loss came on the road.
