Matchday 14 of La Liga between Sevilla and Betis will take place on November 30 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs. Betis: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
In the last round, the team failed to secure points away at Espanyol (1-2), marking Sevilla's fourth loss in their last five La Liga matches. Throughout the current La Liga season, the team has lost every second game on average. Consequently, with such results, Matias Almeyda's side finds itself in the middle of the table, equidistant from the European competition zone and 18th place, which leads to relegation from the tournament. Notably, Sevilla has kept a clean sheet in only one of their last six league games. In total, the team has conceded 21 goals in La Liga, with only Levante (24) and Girona (25) performing worse in this regard.
- The club has not won in 13 of their last 16 home matches in La Liga (6 draws, 7 losses).
- Sevilla's uncompromising streak in this tournament lasts 9 matches (4 wins, 5 losses).
- The team has scored in 6 consecutive home games in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-2-3-1)
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Juanlu Sanchez, Marcao, Andres Castrin, Gabriel Suazo – Batista Mendy, Djibril Sow – Ruben Vargas, Peque Fernandez, Adnan Januzaj – Akor Adams.
Due to injuries, defenders Tanguy Nianzou and Gabriel Suazo, as well as midfielders Adnan Januzaj and Ruben Vargas, will not be available for the team.
Betis
Manuel Pellegrini's side is very resilient, suffering only 2 losses in the first 13 rounds of the current La Liga season. However, 6 out of Betis's 13 matches ended in a draw – only Elche and Celta have more draws (7 each). Last week, the team couldn't overcome Girona (1-1), losing points for the fourth time in their last five league games. As a result of that match, the club remained in 5th place in the standings, but the gap from the Champions League zone has increased to 7 points.
- Betis has not conceded more than 1 goal in 6 of their last 8 La Liga matches.
- The team's unbeaten away streak in La Liga extends to 6 matches (1 win, 5 draws).
- The club has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 13 of their last 14 games in the Spanish championship.
Predicted lineup for Betis (4-2-3-1)
Alvaro Valles – Marc Bartra, Nathan, Hector Bellerin, Valentin Gomez – Pablo Fornals, Marc Roca – Rodrigo Riquelme, Giovani Lo Celso, Antony Mateus – Cucho Hernandez.
Midfielder Isco and defender Hector Bellerin are not ready for the match. The participation of goalkeeper Pau Lopez, as well as midfielders Sofyan Amrabat and Giovani Lo Celso, is questionable. Forward Antony Mateus is suspended.
Sevilla vs. Betis: Match Prediction
The Seville derby is traditionally marked by intense competition and intriguing matches, often with both teams scoring. For example, both teams found the net in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters in La Liga.
