Sevilla travel to Real Betis in La Liga on Sunday. Betis have impressed this season and should have too much for their rivals who have struggled to find their best form so far.
Real Betis are enjoying a fine campaign this season and have impressed both on the domestic front and in Europe. They are in the top four in La Liga and finished unbeaten in the Europa League group stage.
Things have been particularly smooth for Real Betis in recent weeks as they have won their last three matches across all competitions. They claimed a 2-0 victory at Real Sociedad in their previous La Liga fixture and followed that up with a 3-0 win over HJK Helsinki in the Europa League.
The Estadio Benito Villamarin has been a fortress for Real Betis all season having suffered just one defeat in front of their fans so far. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have won five of their six home matches in La Liga, keeping three clean sheets in that run.
Sevilla travel to Betis off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League. That was their second straight defeat having lost 1-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano in their previous La Liga fixture.
It has been a difficult campaign for Sevilla, who have only won twice in La Liga this season and are currently in the bottom three. Although they will consider themselves to good to go down, a swift turnaround in fortunes is required.
While Sevilla have been generally poor this season, they have done some good work on their travels. Jorge Sampaoli’s men have only lost once in their last four away matches in La Liga, although that defeat was a 3-1 loss at Real Madrid in their previous fixture on the road.
