Current form — Real Betis v. Sevilla
The Green-and-Whites keep target in sight
Results have been on par for Real Betis in their past games, as they have performed more or less according to expectations. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been a bit bleak in their last 3 matches, although it started with a 4-1 win against Valencia. Unable to follow that up, they went down 3-0 against Atletico Madrid, before handing over all 3 points in a 4-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.
The Nervionenses looking for more
It has been a rollercoaster couple of weeks for Sevilla with performances showing little sign of stability. Julen Lopetegui’s side have seen it all in their last 3 matches. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Mallorca, before claiming 3 points in a 2-0 win against Osasuna. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Lille.
It has the look of an equal match-up in theory. Bookies have a home win priced at 3.00, while paying out odds of 2.60 for the away win. Should they split the point, it pays out at 3.25 with the bookmakers.
