Why Manchester City Are Favorites To Win 2020/2021 EPL Season

3y ago

Sevilla have been in red-hot form this season, taking almost every opponent they have come up against to the cleaners. The standings suggest they have been the third-best side within the cluster, with an imperious record bettered only by Spanish juggernauts Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Julen Lopetegui’s charges seem hell-bent on securing a spot in the Champions League places and have been working towards that amazing feat. With a sturdy defense, ticking midfield and clinical attack, the sky seems the limit for this outstanding side.

Both sides separated by eight spots on the log, Los Nervionenses hold a healthy 14-point lead over this weekend’s opposition. With a place within top-four considered unchartered territory for Sevilla, they have taken up the mantle to clinch Champions League football come the end of the season.

Expect fireworks in the Spanish La Liga’s first fixture since the COVID-19 break with both sides itching to mark their return with all three points in the bag.

Sevilla vs Real Betis Team News

Prior to the unexpected break in March, Sevilla were out to get out-of-sorts Atletico Madrid at the famed Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in a match billed to be in a tizzy. In unfamiliar territory, Los Nervionenses held their heads down as they battled their stubborn opposition for maximum points.

Sevilla firing themselves ahead just inside 19 minutes, we looked set for a goal-fest in Madrid. The hosts responded in enviable fashion, pressing high up the pitch in search of an equalizer. Out to get a goal, they got two instead, with two quick-fire goals to overturn the lead.

However, the fun was far from over as Lopetegui’s charges still had some drama in store for us. Awarded a penalty just on the stroke of half-time, Lucas Ocampos stepped up to place the ball in the corner of the net, bringing scores level once again.

With the second-period devoid of any gilt-edged chances, it was a drab forty-five minutes, both sides ultimately settling for a 2-2 draw at the sound of the final whistle. The travelling supporters were in fine voice as they headed home with their top-four hopes still very much alive.

Real Betis, on the other hand, left Real Madrid at a loss for words on the last match-day, condemning the title candidates to a disappointing 2-1 defeat. Los Blancos will be kicking themselves for their lax attitude to the game as they ultimately relinquished top-spot to defending champions Barcelona.

For this fixture, Sevilla hold the home advantage – one likely to dictate the bearing of this fixture. They have admitted defeat just once from their preceding ten games on this ground. Also, they have only lost two games from their previous thirteen attempts here. It goes without saying Lopetegui’s side are a huge force to reckon with on home turf.

In sharp contrast, Real Betis have won just once from their last 13 fixtures on the road. More worryingly, they are heading into this game on the back of a five-game winless streak on their travels. With Sevilla plunging home 19 goals in their last 13 fixtures, Betis have managed a measly 11 efforts in that time.

Sevilla vs Real Betis Predictions

The visiting contingent will be looking to take confidence from their shock 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on the last match-day. However, Los Verdiblancos’ horrific away record is likely to be their undoing.

On a mission to clinching a Champions League place finish, Sevilla will be itching to demolish this weak Betis side this Thursday. Heading into this game with a four-game unbeaten streak, Los Nervionenses will be looking to make it five on the bounce. Taking these into consideration, Sevilla should ease to a comfortable victory over Betis, registering no less than three goals in the process.
