BETIS VS SEVILLA PREVIEW & PREDICTION
The “green and white” part leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that has shown in this 2018. For this reason and knowing that it is better from the emotional than his classic rival, we believe that the local can win even by a goal from difference. Remember that Sevilla has defended badly in recent weeks, costing him much more in the Spanish tournament.
Betis:
The “verdiblancos” lost 2-0 to Athletic Bilbao as visitors in the new San Mamés, staying with 59 points in the general table. With this defeat they cut a streak of several games without winning, staying in the fifth position of the competition. His goal is to definitively secure his direct place in the next Europa League, trying to take advantage of his dapper midfield style forward.
As a local at Benito Villamarín, Betis has managed to add good results despite some odds (10 wins, 3 draws and 5 falls, scoring 33 goals and losing 29 on his fence). It comes from equaling 0-0 with Real Sociedad, scoring 3-0 against Espanyol, defeating Eibar 2-0, defeating Las Palmas 1-0 and beating Málaga 2-1.
Seville:
The boys of Caparrós defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 last Friday and received Real Madrid midweek for a postponed duel (win 3-2 after winning 3-0). Currently they have 57 units in total, with their objective being to fight for the Europa League quota until the end. There is still an eleven fear for the good players he has in attack, his goal being to be more balanced under the command of coach Caparrós.
As a visitor, Sevilla has registered negative scores for the players he has, after winning 6 games, draw another and lose the remaining 11 that he played (16 goals scored and 34 transferred in his goal). It comes from overcoming 0-1 to Malaga, losing 2-1 to Leganes, losing 4-0 to Celta, equaling 0-0 with Deportivo and stumbling 2-1 against Levante.
The last duel held by both teams was a few months ago and the score ended up favoring Betis in the Sánchez Pizjuán (3-5 in January 2018). In the Benito Villamarín, the “verdiblancos” have not won since April 2006 (2-1). Of course, the last two classics were favorable for Sevilla after winning 0-2 in January 2016 for the Copa del Rey and 1-2 in February 2017 by the Santander League.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.48
