The Seville derby arrives with its usual intensity, and both sides enter the clash carrying notable absences. Anyhow, we predict a 1-1 draw as both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach. Los Beticos are without suspended defender Valentin Gómez, while Aitor Ruibal remains a major doubt after limping off in the 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. Despite these setbacks, Betis have been strong at home, averaging 2.40 points per game and scoring 1.60 goals per match at the Benito VillamarÃn. Manuel Pellegriniâs team have won four of their last five home fixtures, producing a healthy 3.20 average goals per game in that stretch.Sevilla, meanwhile, continue to struggle for consistency. With Tanguy Nianzou suspended, their defensive issues could deepen. Los Sevillanos have failed to win any of their last four away matches and average only 0.25 points per game on the road. Their xGA of 1.63 away from home highlights why they concede too easily.
