The Seville derby is always a special occasion and there is a lot to play for in the second derby of the season in Andalusia.
The match between Real Betis and Sevilla will take place on the 28th of April at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. The hosts begin this round of fixtures in 7th place on 48 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 37 points.
Real Betis come into the game having recorded a good 2-1 win at Valencia last weekend in La Liga.
Real Betis led 1-0 at half time but conceded the equaliser in the 66th minute.
However, it was Real Betis who scored the only other goal in the 77th minute to take a crucial 3 points and move above Valencia in the table.
The victory over Valencia was the second successive win for Real Betis following a 2-1 home victory over Celta Vigo. The win over Celta Vigo was crucial for Real Betis as it ended a run of 4 straight defeats in the league.
Statistics show Real Betis are undefeated in 15 of their last 17 home La Liga games. They are undefeated in 4 of their 5 most recent home league matches but have won only 2 of those fixtures.
Both teams have scored in 5 of Real Betis’s last 6 La Liga games on home soil, including each of their last 3 home league matches.
Sevilla make the short trip across the city to the Estadio Benito Villamarín on the back of a 2-1 home win over Mallorca last weekend in La Liga.
With the score 0-0 at half time, Sevilla took the lead in the 61st minute and doubled their advantage 14 minutes later. Mallorca pulled a goal back in the 95th minute but it did not impact the result.
The victory over Mallorca means Sevilla have won each of their last 3 matches, all of which have been played in La Liga. The additional wins have come over Getafe and Las Palmas away.
Trends show Sevilla are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 away La Liga fixtures. They have won 3 of those 6 matches with the only defeat coming at Real Madrid.
Sevilla have scored in each of their last 3 La Liga games on the road and have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 away league matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Real Betis are without the injured duo of Hector Bellerin and Ezequiel Ávila. There are also doubts over the fitness of Assane Diao, Johnny, Isco, and Sokratis, and Marc Bartra.
Sevilla are without three players as Nemanja Gudelj, Adrià Pedrosa, and Djibril Sow are all in the treatment room.
Passion will be high for the Seville derby and despite there being an 11 point gap between the teams, predictions point towards a closely fought match. We expect to see both teams score but under 2.5 goals is also a possibility, meaning the game could finish level at 1-1.
