Real Betis vs Sevilla

Real Betis and Sevilla will face off at Estadio Benito Villamarin during Sunday evening to determine the winner of this anticipated Seville derby showdown.

Real Betis continue their superb league run with five consecutive wins that elevate them into sixth position whereas Sevilla suffered defeat only once during their previous five La Liga fixtures.

Real Betis continue a strong league form as they achieve five consecutive league victories at a crucial time of the season while beating Real Madrid 2-1 at home during the first week of March.

Real Betis won their match against Leganes 3-2 and moved ahead in the Conference League quarter-finals by beating Vitoria de Guimaraes 6-2 in aggregate during the break before March.

Real Betis have accrued 44 points this season from their 28 league matches with twelve victories, eight draws and eight defeats that positions them sixth in the table next to Villarreal and behind Athletic Bilbao by eight points.

The home advantage has brought Sevilla 26 league points but they collected a respectable 17 points in their away matches this season.

Sevilla earned their last victory over Real Betis in La Liga during September 2018 for a remarkable run but many of their recent top-flight derbies ended tied including the previous match which resulted in a 1-1 draw.

The 2019-20 Spanish league season was their worst performance since top-tier return when Los Nervionenses settled for 14th position.

Sevilla did manage to win the derby earlier this season, 1-0 at Estadio Ramon, and they will now look to achieve a La Liga double against their opponents for the first time since the 2021-22 season.
As a result, there has been plenty of space for growth this season, and Garcia Pimienta's team is presently 10th in the league, having earned 36 points from 28 matches.

Sevilla is just four points behind seventh-placed Mallorca, but eight behind sixth-placed Real Betis, so it will be difficult for them to come up in the last phases of the season.

Garcia Pimienta's squad went into the March international break having lost 1-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao, but they won 1-0 away to Real Sociedad on March 9.
