Team Analysis
Real Betis continues to be a strong contender for European Competition, making the Seville derby a crucial match-up. Currently, they maintain an 11-point lead over their rivals, who find themselves in the 12th spot on the table.

In their last five league games, Betis has gathered a modest total of six points, overcoming a trio of losses with consecutive victories against Valencia and Celta Vigo. In comparison, Sevilla has performed slightly better during this period, amassing 10 points and suffering a single defeat at the hands of Real Madrid.

Given the importance of this game for their European campaign, Betis's manager Manuel Pellegrini will hope that his less than stellar record in the Seville derby (one victory in eight matches) doesn't influence their performance.

Ayoze Perez, who notched two goals in Betis' latest 2-1 victory over Valencia, marking his first goals after recovering from injury, is a player to observe closely in this match.

Head-to-Head
The previous leg of this fixture resulted in a 1-1 stalemate, a game in which Hector Bellering had a goal called back. Their last five matches have been predominantly low-scoring affairs.

Odds Analysis
Even though past matches between these teams have typically produced a low goal tally, our selection favours over 2.5 goals, considering that both teams' last couple of matches have seen more than two goals. The odds for this selection stand at 2.11.

While Sevilla has less riding on this fixture, a derby always brings out the competitive spirit. With Betis keen on securing a spot in next season's European competition and considering their home match advantage, we predict a home victory, offered at 2.14 odds.

Pick: Real Betis to win & Over 2.5 goals
