Prediction for Sevilla vs Real Betis
Last season, Sevilla continued their poor run in La Liga, finishing in 14th place with only 41 points, a stark contrast to their once regular top-four finishes. They also crashed out of the Champions League, finishing last in their group. Meanwhile, Betis has also seen a drop in form, but their 7th-place finish, ahead of Villarreal, was a small consolation in a season dominated by the rise of Girona and Athletic Club.
This summer, Sevilla continued their policy of selling players to improve their financial situation, parting ways with key names like En-Nesyri, Acuña, and Ocampos. Other notable exits included Rafa Mir, Delaney, Lamela, and Januzaj. However, they reinforced their squad with talents like Agoumé, Ejuke, Peke, Lokonga, Saúl, and Iheanacho. Betis was equally active, losing players like Iglesias, Fekir, Guido Rodríguez, Ayoze Pérez, and Rodri Sánchez, but signing Lo Celso, Vitor Roque, Ricardo Rodríguez, and others. However, Isco, who had a brilliant previous season, is still recovering and is unlikely to return soon.
Betis started the season poorly, managing wins in the Conference League qualifiers against Kryvbas but struggling in La Liga until mid-September. They later lost to Mallorca and drew with Las Palmas. After a win over Espanyol, they suffered a defeat to Legia Warsaw in the Conference League. Sevilla, on the other hand, had a tough start at home, with away draws, but then picked up crucial home wins against Getafe and Valladolid, only to lose 1-2 to Alavés. They salvaged a late draw against Athletic Club thanks to a stoppage-time own goal by Padilla.
