LiontipsSevilla vs Betis: Preview and Betting Odds (6.90) for the La Liga Match
Command Analysis
Current Form
The 132nd edition of the Grand Derby takes place this weekend as Sevilla hosts Betis, with local pride at stake. After a valiant draw against Athletic Bilbao last round, the home side appears well-prepared. For those questioning the significance of this match for the players, Isaac Romero's bold statement clearly illustrates their determination to fight for their fans and for Jesus Navas, who deserves to leave his last derby with a victory. Sevilla leads the head-to-head record with 62 wins, 32 draws, and 37 losses, and they have not lost to their long-time rivals in league play since the 2018/19 season, boasting 6 wins and 5 losses.
Injuries and Suspensions
Unavailable are Niges (muscle injury) and Suso (muscle injury).
Betting Trends
- The last four La Liga meetings between these rivals ended in draws
- Sevilla finished in the lower half of the La Liga table for the first time this century and has started this campaign disappointingly
Expected Line-up: Niland – Sanchez, Nianzou, Martinez, Pedrosa – Bueno, Carmona, Sou – Lukebakio, Romero.
Current Form
Betis arrives battered after a surprising 0-1 loss to Legia in the UEFA Conference League match earlier this week. This setback prompted manager Manuel Pellegrini to take action, with his squad extending their stay in the Polish capital to prepare for this clash. He hopes the return of top scorer Giovani Lo Celso to the starting lineup will be enough for his team to secure an away victory in a head-to-head match for the first time in six years. Pellegrini expressed frustration over his team's lack of attacking threat mid-week, a concern that has plagued the Beticos in recent away games, managing to score just once in their last four outings.
Injuries and Suspensions
Sabaly (muscle injury), Isco (leg injury), and Carvalho (Achilles injury) will be unavailable for the match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Lo Celso scored in Betis' last away league match, netting five goals in his last four appearances.
- Betis remains tough to beat, having lost only one of their last seven away matches in La Liga, with the defeat coming against Real Madrid (0-2).
Projected Lineup: Silva – Sabaly, Bartra, Llorente, Perro – Ruibal, Carvalho, Fekir, Fornals, Roca – Juanmi.

1.88Tip and bets
The Seville derby has typically been filled with intense emotions, though it hasn't seen a flurry of goals in recent years. Both teams are roughly equal in strength and ambition, but we believe today's match will feature goals. The clash occurs before the international break, setting the stage for an open attacking style that should capitalize on scoring opportunities. Notably, in three of the last five encounters, both teams found the net.
Our prediction is for both teams to score, and we are backing this at 1.91
Match Outcome Bet

Taking a chance, we’ll place our bet on the home team for a long-awaited victory backed by their maximum effort.
Prediction - Sevilla to win with odds of 2.45
Yellow Card Bet
This match is unlikely to be any exception, potentially leading to numerous fouls, some of which may draw the referee's strict attention. Additionally, in two of the last four encounters, the referee issued fewer than four yellow cards.
Prediction - total yellow cards over four. This option is available at odds of 1.71
