LiontipsBetis vs Sevilla. Prediction and Betting Tips for La Liga
Command Analysis
The White-Greens are trying to hold on to the Top-4 spot, which will get them a chance to play in the Champions League for the first time since 2006. In 12 rounds of the current season Betis have recorded seven victories and two draws, delivering 23 points and a 4th spot in the standings. In the previous match Beticos earned a 2:0 away victory over Real Sociedad.
Hosts also earned a mid-week victory over HJK (3:0). That success marked an end of the Europa League group stage, where club earned more than 15 million euros. Rodriguez, Luiz Felipe, Juanmi, Joaquin and Camarasa will miss the upcoming game.
Sevilla's path in the Champions League has ended with a 1:3 defeat to Manchester City this mid-week. Moreover, after a 0:1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in the previous La Liga match Los Nervionenses slided down to the relegation zone for the first time in this century.
Recently appointed manager Jorge Sampaoli is trying to improve team's defensive game, team conceded 31 goals in all competitions, which is surely an unacceptable result. Ten points and an 18th spot in the standings is a huge disappointment. Torres, Fernando, Marcao, Isco and Corona will miss the upcoming game.

Tip and bets
Real Betis are set to host the 138th El Gran Derbi. We are not expecting a repeat of January match, in which Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan was struck by an object thrown from the stands. We are anticipating an exciting football game, which might end in Sevilla's favour. Visitors are trying to climb out of the bottom and they have a number of experienced players, who should be able to get the job done.
Our prediction - Sevilla to win
We are expecting a strong offensive performance from both sides. Both clubs prefer an attacking style of play, featuring a number of classy players. Teams struggle defensively, so we might see many goals in this game.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
