Sevilla vs Real Betis predictions: Bragging rights at the centre of this battle
Key stats
- Sevilla have won only three of their last three matches across all competitions (W2, L3).
- Four of Sevilla's last five matches returned no fewer than three goals.
- Real Betis are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions (W4, D2).
- Betis won their last La Liga meeting 2-1.
Correct score prediction: Sevilla 1-2 Real Betis
Real Betis will enter this contest with the better form, and if they maintain the form that has seen them move up the standings, they are likely to take all the spoils on Sunday. Unbeaten in six matches across all competitions, with four of those ending in victories, one will be compelled to back Manuel Pellegrini's men.
Sevilla, on their part, have been inconsistent, managing only two wins in five fixtures. Going by their respective forms, we will have to side with the bookies and back Real Betis to win 2-1.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The visitors are backed by the bookies
- HOME: 19/10 (2.90) – 34.5%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 11/8 (2.38) – 42.1%
**Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The bookies have clearly taken a position in one which is backing the away side to claim all three points on offer in this encounter. That position can not be faulted, given the form of the visiting side that are yet to taste a defeat since the end of October.
Betis have been priced at 11/8 (2.38), which implies a 42.1% chance of success on Sunday, while the hosts have odds of 19/10 (2.90), which translates to 34.5% for a successful outing this weekend.
Most recent H2Hs: Real Betis have won once in their last eight meetings
While the current form favours the visitors, their overall head-to-head meetings paint another picture, with Sevilla having the edge. In their last eight meetings, Sevilla have managed three wins, while Betis claimed only one victory, with the others ending in a draw.

Sevilla Preview: Adnan Januzaj and Ruben Vargas are doubtful for this fixture
The participation of Adnan Januzaj and Ruben Vargas is in doubt after both players suffered thigh injuries in their last Li Liga fixture. With that in mind, both players will have to be subjected to undergo a late fitness test to ascertain their readiness.
