SEVILLA welcome Real Betis to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday, October 6th for this La Liga clash, where a home win would lift Los Rojiblancos level on points with their opponents. Here we preview this upcoming clash by looking at some betting tips, form and more.
How the bookies view it: Los Rojiblancos running as favourites
The bookmakers are leaning towards the home win for Sevilla at the odds-against quote of 6/4. Given that their only two wins in the league this season have come on home turf, that makes sense. But in terms of results, Betis have been the better team this season, but have struggled to produce away wins and kick-off as the 2/1 underdogs to claim all three points.
Recent head-to-head: Tight encounters have become the norm.
Both meetings last season ended in 1-1 draws, and that scoreline has appeared in three of the last four clashes, making it an 11/2 quote to appear again this weekend. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last six home matches against Real Betis in La Liga, and eight of the last ten clashes across all competitions have ended under 2.5 goals, so this isn’t likely to be a high-scoring affair.
Players to watch: Look to Lukebakio to shine for Sevilla
Sevilla haven’t looked like a massive threat going forward, but Dodi Lukebakio has been one of their better players this season. The wide attacking player is the club’s top scorer this season with two, which shows how tame they have been in front of goal. Real Betis like to counterattack, yet, have proven to have had a real weakness in front of goal away from home, so look for big defensive performances from the likes of Lorrente and Natan to give them that platform from which to push forward.
Predicted Lineups
Sevilla: Nyland, Barco, bade, Nianzou, Carmona, Gudelj, Lukebakio, Peque, Agoume, Ejuke, Iheanacho
Real Betis: Silva, Bellerin, Llorente, Natan, Rodiquez, Ezzalzouli, Altimira, Losada, Lo Celso, Roca, Bakambu
Does anything else catch the eye?
There have been some tasty clashes between the two clubs in recent times, with four red cards shown in the last five meetings. Sevilla have already had three red cards shown to them in this season’s La Liga, so it may be worth pushing the Home Team Total Cards over 4.5 at 9/4.
The last four meetings between Sevilla and Real Betis have been drawn and that is another option jumps off the page at 11/5. Betis have managed to score just one away goal all season in a D1 L2 road record, so don't pose the biggest of threats and the longer it drags on, the more likely they will be happy with a draw.
Real Betis could have an extra disadvantage having played in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night, which ended in a loss at Legia Warsaw, while Sevilla didn't have a midweek fixture.
Sevilla have averaged a goal per game this season and their two home wins happened against teams beneath them in the standings. Los Rojiblancos only rescued a point against Athletic Bilbao last week after their opponents were reduced to 10 men inside the final ten minutes, and then still needed an own goal to earn the point.
