Betis vs Sevilla Preview and Team News

Betis Team News

Betis struggled at the start of the season with the absences of Isco and Lo Celso, which was crucial to Pellegrini’s attacking setup. Since their return, the team have played to the expected levels, sitting 6th in La Liga. They made history by winning five consecutive La Liga matches for the first time since Quique Setién’s tenure. 

Historically an Achilles’ heel for Betis, the team qualified for the next round of the Conference League with a convincing 4-0 victory against SC Vitória in the second leg. They will face Polish side Jagiellonia in two weeks.

However, this upcoming La Liga match matters most to Manuel Pellegrini rather than Betis as a whole. Despite his successful tenure, he’s yet to defeat Sevilla.

Johnny Cardoso’s injury is likely to make this even more challenging. Lo Celso is expected to return from injury but is still awaiting medical clearance. Marc Roca faces a similar situation.

Sevilla Team News

Unlike their rivals, Sevilla are enduring a difficult season. Sevilla have won two of their last five matches, a 4-0 win against Real Valladolid and a 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad. 

The team has struggled to find the right attack-defense balance, with inflated squad wages preventing several of coach García Pimienta’s requested signings from being completed.

Pimienta’s team have relied primarily on Lukebakio’s heroics on the wing, prompting opponents to overload his flank with defenders. This has allowed Sevilla to dominate midfield possession, but they have struggled to convert their advantage in the final third.

Djibril Sow and Lucien Agoumé are suspended while Nemanja Gudelj and Tanguy Nianzou remain sidelined through injuries.

Betis vs Sevilla Prediction

• Prediction: Draw
• Odds: 3.48 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Betis 1-1 Sevilla

The hosts are favoured by betting odds based on their form and their season, given they’ve won the last five games in La Liga. 

With the expected returns of Lo Celso and Marc Roca, there are plenty of reasons on paper to believe Betis would come out victorious in the Benito Villamarín.

Rojo pasión.

On the other hand, Pellegrini has never managed to find the key to Sevilla’s defence. His team still struggles defensively and will have to break past Badé, who’s been one of the main reasons why the visitors are still holding up. 

The team have been in a negative spiral in the last few years and could find a result against Betis. In the heat of ‘El Gran Derbi’, there are plenty of reasons to believe Sevilla can avoid a defeat.

Betis vs Sevilla Betting Tip

• Pick: Isco to score 
• Odds: 3.6 (22Bet)

Isco is not only Betis’ best player, but he’s also one of the best playmakers of the season. It was a shock to the club to see that Spain coach Luis de la Fuente did not select Isco for the international break. 

However, this benefits the club, which will have a more motivated Isco, who’s been behind a majority of the team’s transitions. With Sevilla missing two key midfielders due to suspensions, Isco will have more freedom to dictate play.
