Sevilla Preview – Will Sevilla find a crucial win after just one victory in their last six games?

In what has been an excellent season for Sevilla in the main, there’s no doubt the last month has been extremely testing. Julen Lopetegui’s men have been eliminated from both the Copa del Rey and Champions League with defeats to Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund, respectively. Those cup competitions are also having an impact on their league form – both because of the damaging defeats and also the number of games they are playing.

Sevilla’s sole focus is now on La Liga and ensuring they finish in the top four to qualify for the Champions League next season.

 

Our betting prediction:

(odds taken 2000 GMT, Saturday 13 March)
Defeat to Barcelona in the league at the end of February brought to an end a five game winning streak for Sevilla – four of which were earned by keeping a clean sheet. That is the sort of form we have become accustomed to with this side and there would be no better way to get back to it than the visit of their arch rivals.
Youssef En-Nesyri continues to be the main source of goals for Sevilla with 13 in La Liga alone. When you consider no other player has managed more than four then you appreciate how integral he is to this team’s attack.

Real Betis Preview – Can Betis continue their excellent winning run and make it five straight in La Liga?

Real Betis have not been mentioned at all in the conversation for top four until they started this four-match winning run. Manuel Pellegrini – who took over in August of last year – has quietly led his team to sixth place and just six points behind their city neighbours – albeit they have played a game more.

It’s now just three defeats in their last 15 league matches and if they can win here it would be the first time since 2017 they have put together five straight victories. Confidence will be high as they make the short journey tomorrow.

One of the biggest improvements of Betis in recent weeks is their ability to pick up points on their travels. Have won three in nine to start the campaign, Pellegrini’s men have won as many inf their last four – taking 10 points in that run of matches.

Betis’ defensive record is the worst of any team in the top 10 which makes their current position all that more surprising. A concession of 40 goals is double what their opponents have shipped and 18 more than the next highest in the top six. Longer term, if they continue on that trajectory then it’s unlikely they will finish in the top four.

Sevilla vs Real Betis Betting Advice

This is always a game to savour and this one especially so as both teams have hopes of finishing in the top four. Sevilla clearly have a significant advantage – both in terms of points and that game in hand, as well as the recent experience. But their recent form is a concern and with Betis on their best run of the season then a win for the visiting team would put them right in the mix.

Betis have to overcome a poor recent record at this venue with just one win in their last six. Sevilla have won the rest.

Key Facts – Sevilla vs Real Betis Betting Tip

  • Real Betis are looking to win their fifth straight league game for the first time in nearly three years
  • Betis have won just once in their last six visits here – losing the other five

 

This is a game which often brings goal. Six of the last eight meetings have seen both teams score, the same has happened in eight of Betis’ last 10. Take it again here.
