The Real Madrid squad will square off against Sevilla in what should be a highly competitive La Liga matchup on Saturday.

However, Real's string of bad luck continued with a 1-0 loss versus Granada over the weekend. Los Blancos' form on the road has been below par this season for a team of its magnitude, prevailing in just five of twelve games while away from their home field.

The respective circumstances has halted the team from catching the second-place Atletico Madrid, who sit seven points above their cross-town rivals.

Fortunately for the Los Blancos side, the situation at Bernabeu should be significantly easier, as they haven't lost a matchup in their last 22 home games in the Spanish league.

More specifically, they've been victorious in five of their last six games against the likes of Sevilla, and will more than likely hold a mental edge over their opponents, even though its last showdown with the club ended on a low note with Sevilla winning via 1-0 margin.

The game will be a special occasion for goalie Diego Lopez, who will go up against the team he was transferred from at the end of January.

Nonetheless, Jose Mourhino will have some issues to deal with as both Pepe and Raphael Varane will be out of action.
