Match Prediction: Betis vs. Sevilla
The Seville derby promises to be entertaining and high-scoring. Both teams are in good form, especially the hosts, who have won five consecutive La Liga matches, marking their second-best run in Spain's top division history (six straight wins in 2018). Manuel Pellegrini's side has also scored in nine consecutive league games but conceded in 14 of their last 17 La Liga matches.
Sevilla has lost only four of their last 15 league games, with all defeats coming against top-four La Liga teams. They have scored in 13 of their last 15 league matches and conceded in 8 of their last 11. Additionally, both teams have scored in 6 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings at Betis's ground in the league. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
