How Real Madrid and Sevilla arrive at the match
The match comes at an important time for the standings. Real Madrid occupies the fourth position in LaLiga, after having lost two of its last five championship matches, against Betis and Atlético de Madrid. Mourinho's team is six points behind Barcelona, the leader at the start of the matchday, so they need to add points to reduce the gap.
The whites face the clash with a notable absence: Vinícius Júnior will not be able to play due to suspension after his expulsion against Villarreal. The Brazilian must serve a four-match suspension, including the Clásico against Barcelona on October 25. His absence will force Mourinho to make changes in the Madrid attack.
For its part, Sevilla arrives at the Bernabéu in fifth place, four points behind the white team. The Andalusians have gone two matches without winning, after losing to Barcelona and drawing against Levante, but maintain good numbers away from home: two victories and two draws in their four league away games.
Real Madrid will try to extend their perfect record of victories at home, while Sevilla will seek to score points at the Bernabéu, a stadium where they have not achieved a league victory since 2008.
When does Real Madrid play again after Sevilla
The white team's schedule will continue with two important commitments. Next Wednesday, October 21, they will host RB Leipzig in the Champions League, also at 21:00 hours, while on Sunday, October 25, they will visit FC Barcelona in the Clásico, also scheduled for 21:00 hours.
Before those matches, Real Madrid will face this Sunday an appointment against a Sevilla that also needs to add points. The match will start at 21:00 hours and can be seen on Movistar LaLiga, through Movistar Plus+ and Orange TV.
