Real Betis vs Sevilla Predictions

• Sevilla have triumphed in the last three Seville derbies including a 1-2 success at Benito Villamarin last term.
• Los Palanganas have won six of their last eight La Liga games including their last three outings on the road.
• Betis have lost seven of their last 11 league matches.

More Derby Delight for Los Palanganas

After six wins from their last eight and three consecutive victories on the road, Sevilla need keeping on side for this Saturday’s big derby clash at Benito Villamarin.

Los Palanganas are in tremendous form at present and they advertised their credentials for at least a top four finish this season by outclassing Villarreal 2-0 at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Tuesday.

That result bumped Julen Lopetegui’s side into the Champions League places and they couldn’t be in better shape as they prepare to take on their great rivals this weekend.

Sevilla have won the last three derbies between the pair including a 1-2 success here last term and they should get the better of Betis again, who have been the poorer relation in Andalusia for some time now.

The perennial underachievers are seemingly going nowhere once more this season, and while they currently sit a fairly comfortable 10^th, seven defeats from their last 11 games suggests Los Verdiblancos could be sucked into trouble over the coming weeks.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men were on the wrong end of a 4-3 thriller at Levante on Tuesday evening; however, they were easily second best in that game until their opponents had a man dismissed.

Based on current form and the quality of these sides, it’s hard to envisage anything other than the hosts coming up well short on Saturday and we’re predicting a 0-2 victory for the visitors who have kept clean sheets in five of their last eight starts.
