Betis vs Sevilla: match preview
Betis currently sit in the upper half of the table and are firmly in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot. The side have collected 42 points from 25 matches and occupy fifth place. They are six points adrift of fourth and hold a five-point cushion over sixth. That keeps their hopes of a top-four finish very much alive. In their previous outing, Betis were held to a 2–2 draw by Rayo, and they are now unbeaten in three consecutive matches.
Sevilla find themselves lower in the standings with 29 points after 25 matches. They sit 12th and are not yet fully clear of the relegation battle. The Andalusians are currently five points above 18th place and therefore cannot afford to relax. In their last four matches, Sevilla have avoided defeat in three — one win and two draws. Overall, however, their form has lacked consistency: two wins, two draws and one loss in their last five games.
Probable line-ups
- Real Betis: Valles; Ruibal, Llorente, Natan, Rodriguez; Fornals, Roca, Fidalgo; Antony, Hernandez, Ezzalzouli
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos; J Sanchez, Azpilicueta, Gudelj, Salas, Suazo; Mendy, Agoume, Sow; Maupay, Adams
Prediction
Betis are in solid form and have every chance to build on it. On home soil, they will fancy their chances of taking all three points. With strong motivation in the fight for a UEFA Champions League berth, I suggest a bet on a Betis victory in this match.
