La Ligo tonight

Sevilla V Real Madrid


As soon as I saw this fixture the word goals popped into my head.
Sevilla are a bit of a mixed bag this season. The early devastation at the club due to the death of a player brought obvious problems to the players but they seem to have got back on track a little. That was until last week, when coach Ramos upped and left for warmer climates, aka London!
Their home form has also been a little hard to predict, 3 wins and 2 losses. But most games they have played have gone hand in hand with plenty of goals, both home and away. A home record in which they have scored 13 and conceded 6 gives their home goals average to about 2.6.

Real Madrid, the defending champions are playing sterling football this season and they have only been defeated the once, away to Espanyol. Their away record though is good, the most notable result a 5 – 1 hammering of Valencia at the Mestalla.
Like sevilla, their games, both home and away have also seen plenty of goals. Away from home their record reads 3-1-1 and they have yet to fail to score an any match, home or away. Their away goals record stands at 13 for and 4 against averaging at just over 2.5 goals a game away from home.

On the playing field Sevilla have had the slight edge over Real in recent times and already put them out of the Super Cup. They have also won 5 of the last 6 home games against Real, another interesting stat to consider.
Much like today’s earlier game between Arsenal and Manchester, I’m finding it very hard to pick a winner, both teams are equally good but I think Real will win this one, if only just. They have so much attacking quality with the likes of Van Nistlerooy, Robinho and Raul that’s its very hard to see them not scoring tonight.

This is a game im looking forward to and I see lots of goals coming hopefully.
