Even though Sevilla has performed poorly this season, Sevilla has Sergio Ramos, a former Real Madrid players, so Sevilla can rely on Setgio Ramos to block every move by Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos has been dedicated to Real Madrid for many years and is currently at a different club. Of course, Ramos has a little understanding of Real Madrid attacks so that Sergio Ramos can balance Real Madrid playing style. Sevilla can even get the upper hand in breaking through Real Madrid defense and luckily Real Madrid managed to equalize so thats Real Madrid did not accept defeat in the match.
Even though there were clashes, the match was still competitive and Real Madrid had to be satisfied with the draw.

In the end, Sevilla is Ramos home, so there is no longer any reason not to defend his small club. For Madrid players, it is quite difficult to face their former captain, Ramos knows very well where Madrid weak point is at the moment. I think a draw is quite disappointing, but this result also doesn't make Madrid drop from the top of the standings.

If Barcelona can able to overcomes Bilbao today then they will overtake 2nd place from Atletico Madrid but recent result from Granada is really showed Barcelona performance was slightly decline and losing some of key players really have an affect to their performance especially losing Lewandowski that Barcelona don't have any worth replacement to forward position because so far Barcelona always be rely on Lewandowski to scores goals and recently Jules Koundé also has uncertain condition but hopefully he can be available for this match and i know from meetings statistics Barcelona without any problem can beat Bilbao but now it's different because Barcelona losing some players and Bilbao condition also in the good shape after only lose once from 5 latest matches

The odds for this match

Barcelona @1.60
Draw @3.60
Bilbao @5.00

Remaining without key players will only make Barcelona's appearance less stable. Their goal machine Lewandowski is not in good condition. This will be an opportunity for Bilbao to pressure Barcelona so that they cannot fully concentrate. On the other hand, Xavi will rotate several players, especially his attack line, because of course this requires Xavi to carry out a different strategy.

IMO Both Atletico Madrid, Girona and Barcelona have the same chance of occupying second place in the standings. Just need to compete, one of them gets full points. Because that way it will be easier for us to see which clubs are really benefiting.

Barcelona @1.60 is probably still pretty safe, @5.00 for Bilbao is a risky bet, but I'm interested.
