A win at Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium would move Madrid three points ahead of Barcelona, wo already played their 16th round match ahead of the Club World Cup.
Madrid eased to a 2-0 win at third-tier club Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday, but the real measure of how much the 3-1 loss to Barcelona has damaged the club's morale comes against Sevilla.
Madrid midfielder Kaka says “after losing the ‘clasico,’ it was important to win at Ponferradina. Now we are going to Sevilla excited by the chance to again move top of the table.”
