It hasn’t happened since September 2, 2018. Almost seven years. It seems impossible, but it’s true. Impossible because Sevilla, the team playing “away” in this derby, has had a lot of problems in recent years and found itself embroiled in a relegation battle, even risking a drop to the Segunda Division. Yet, when they face their cousins Betis, something clicks.
Since that date, Betis has not won a single Andalusian derby in the league. They won one in the Copa del Rey, but when the two teams take to the field for La Liga, it’s as if something happens. Well, we believe that after all this, what has not happened for a very long time, too long, could finally materialize.
The table speaks for itself this time too. Yes, it’s true, it spoke clearly in other years too. But the hosts are in sixth place and dreaming of fifth at the end of the season and, why not, maybe even climbing higher in an attempt to qualify for next season’s Champions League, which is difficult but not impossible. And then there is also the current form, which tells us that this match could really end differently than the last few times: Betis are coming off six consecutive positive results, five of which are wins. Unlike the visitors, who lost to Bilbao before the break. In short, it’s time to break a big taboo.
