Betis-Sevilla is a match from the 13th day of the Spanish La Liga: where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
BETIS – SEVILLE | Sunday 9pm
In Europe it’s derby day. Not only Roma-Lazio, and the Italian derby Juve-Inter, but also the very heartfelt one that will close the Spanish Sunday between Pellegrini’s Betis and Sampaoli’s Sevilla. Two teams that find themselves in different positions in the standings and definitely living a different moment. All great on the one hand, all black on the other, with the change in the bench that led to the farewell of Lopetegui – who also moved to the Premier League – and the arrival of the Argentine, who, however, at least up to now, has not given that long-awaited shake-up at all. Betis have now won three matches in a row, and with this run of form Pellegrini’s team approach the derby convinced of their own means and also convinced of fourth place in the table, which must be maintained from the onslaught of Osasuna and Real Sociedad. Going into the break strong with a place in Europe could facilitate the work during the World Cup. And then everything will be done to maintain that position.
On the other hand, Sevilla are resoundingly second last with only ten points so far. Now, there will be no salvation problems and that is obvious, but a shake-up is needed to try and make sense of the second half of the season. This could be the magic night: what better match than the derby? None, of course. But it won’t be night.

The Prediction
Betis heavily favoured. But derbies, you know, are derbies. In any case, the situation at the moment is clear, and the hosts, although with difficulty, should eventually manage to win the entire stake. A match that could well yield at least three goals in total.
Betis v Sevilla likely line-up
- BETIS (4-2-3-1): Silva; Sabaly, Gonzalez, Ruiz, Miranda; Akouokou, Carvalho; Henrique, Rodri, Ruibal; Iglesias.
- SWISS (5-4-1): Bono; Acuna, Rekik, Navas, Carmona, Montiel; Suso, Delaney, Rakitic, Mir; Gomez.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
