Sevilla vs Real Betis

Sunday evening will see the two teams face off in the latest meeting of the Seville derby, which will be held at Estadio Ramon, Sevilla taking on Real Betis in the Spanish La Liga.

Sevilla are still occupying the 13th place in La Liga on 9 points after 8 matches while Real Betis are taking 8th position having 12 points on the same number of games in this La Liga season.

Sevilla started the season poorly and collected only two points of the first four outings, although they managed to overcome a sparse Getafe side 1-0 following the September international break, and will come into this match on the back of two successes, 2-1 against Real Valladolid and a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

This side of the Garcia Pimienta has managed to garner nine points in eight initial league games of the current season, and placed the team down to the 13th spot in the bar, it might as well become a worthy member of the top-tier of the sevillistas formations when going into international break provided the team claims the three points at stake in the severo derby this weekend.

Sevilla were in 14th place in the Spanish First Division last season, which was the worst ever season after Sevilla was relegated from the First Division at end of 1999-2000 season.

Ordinarily, Los Nervioneses would appear to lack the substance to be considered a threat for a European finish this term; nevertheless, they come to this match in good form.

In four previous La Liga clashes, the teams have shared the spoils, and Sevilla has failed to lose a league match against Betis since September 2018.

Real Betis will not have much time to rest as they were in Poland on Thursday evening to participate in Conference League match against Legia Warsaw which they lost 1-0 to the hosts and Goncalo Feio.

However, the Green and Whites emerged triumphant in their most recent league match, defeating Espanyol 1-0. Giovani Lo Celso scored the game's winning goal in the 85th minute.

Although Manuel Pellegrini's team has had difficulty settling into a groove this season, they have amassed 12 points from their first eight games and are currently in eighth place, just two points behind Athletic Bilbao in fifth.

Real Betis finished seventh in Spain's top division the previous season, so it wouldn't be shocking to see them there again in 2024–25, but they also have obligations in Europe.

Although the Green and Whites have not defeated Sevilla at Estadio Ramon since January 2018, they have drawn even with their opponents the past two times they have visited.

Despite Cedric Bakambu's availability, Vitor Roque, an attacker on loan from Barcelona, was selected to play in the middle against Legia Warsaw. This weekend, he may start as center forward once more.
