Sevilla vs. Real Madrid Betting Tips: Jude Bellingham tipped to sparkle yet again
Sevilla and Real Madrid go head-to-head at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on Saturday evening at 5.30pm, live on Viaplay Sports 2 and LaLigaTV.
Jack Kitson previews the game and provides his best two bets.
Sevilla vs Real Madrid Tips
Real Madrid hogged top spot in La Liga heading into October's international break following a return of eight wins from nine matches. They have the best defensive record in the league - just six goals conceded - while only Barcelona have scored more.
Los Blancos have pieced together a four game winning run and have won 10 of their 11 matches in all competitions this season.
It's not often I tip up an odds-on bet away from home, but I'm making an exception for Real Madrid at 22/25 with SBK, as Carlo Ancelotti's men seek to make it six wins from seven games on the road this season.
It's a daunting first game in charge for new Sevilla manager Diego Alonso who has inherited a Sevilla squad plagued by inconsistency, with just two wins to their name from 11 matches in all competitions.
The club's head-to-head record against Real Madrid makes for grim reading too, with the capital club winning eight and losing none of the last nine encounters between the sides, which includes four straight wins at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
You'll likely need no reminding that Jude Bellingham has been absolutely sensational this season.
The 20-year-old has scored 10 goals and assisted three more in his first 10 appearances for Real Madrid.
He's scored more goals (eight) than any other player in La Liga and bagged a brace last time out in the 4-0 win over Osasuna.
Not content with destroying opponents at club level, Bellingham has also sparkled for England, receiving Man of the Match awards for his performances against Scotland and Italy.
In fact, Bellingham has already accumulated a whopping nine MOTM awards this season and that's the bet I had my eye on for this game, however, unfortunately at the time of writing there are no odds available.
Instead, I believe I've unearthed a dollop of value in the Shots On Target (SOT) market.
No player has had more SOT in La Liga this season than Bellingham (15) who has had three SOT in both of his last two appearances.
I'm backing him at an attractive looking 15/2 with Sky Bet to go over the 2.5 SOT line for the third time in a row against Sevilla, whose jittery defence has kept just two clean sheets in 11 games this term.
