Sevilla vs Real Betis Prediction 06.10.2024 | LaLiga

• Competition: Spain - LaLiga
• Date: Sunday, 6th, October 2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan (Sevilla)

Sevilla will welcome Real Betis to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in a thrilling Seville derby, bringing LaLiga’s sunday program to a close.

Sevilla's level of play has dropped considerably in recent years, leading them into a difficult situation where the threat of relegation became much more real than the possibility of qualifying for European competitions. The early results of the 2024-25 campaign have not brought much positivity, as Los Nervionenses have managed to collect just nine points from their opening eight league outings, leaving them three points above the dreaded relegation line.

Under the guidance of Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini, Real Betis have consistently finished in the European spots, but last season saw them endure their weakest finish in his four-year tenure, ending in seventh place. The new domestic campaign has gotten off to a modest start for the green-and-white-clad side, having accumulated half of the 24 on offer to date, finding themselves just two points behind Athletic Bilbao in fifth.

Sevilla vs Real Betis Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

This match is undoubtedly a tough call, as both teams are showing significant improvement after slow starts, but with neither side wanting to lose morale, we anticipate a hard-fought contest with few goals. Sevilla have struggled to impress offensively lately, as their recent 2-1 home win over Real Valladolid stands as the only time they've found the back of the net more than once in their last six LaLiga matches. It won’t be music to the ears of the Estadio Ramon faithful, considering their team will face a stubborn Real Betis side that boasts the fourth-best defensive record in La Liga with only seven goals conceded. 

At the same time, it's should not be forgotten that Los Verdiblancos have struggled to find their scoring touch away from home, as evidenced by the fact that they have been kept off the scoresheet in three of their last visits. Recent Sevilla derbies between these rivals have proven to be extremely hard-fought, as each of the last four duels has ended in a stalemate, and it wouldn’t be surprising if this trend continues, since we expect both teams to focus heavily on their defensive efforts.
