Real Betis – Sevilla

Match analysis

Real Betis host Sevilla in what promises to be a tightly contested derby, with the home side sitting seventh on nine points after three wins and a single defeat, their goal tally perfectly balanced at five for and five against. Sevilla arrive a place higher in fifth, having amassed ten points from three victories, one draw and one loss, and they boast a modest edge in scoring with eight goals while conceding six. The clash pits two clubs whose recent form is almost identical, the Seville giants holding a slight advantage in both points and goal difference. A win for either side could see them leapfrog rivals and tighten the race for European qualification, adding extra spice to an already fierce local rivalry.
