Real Betis will play host to Sevilla in a La Liga fixture at Benito Villamarin on Sunday. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of 2-1 wins , with the hosts getting the better of Valencia 2-1 last weekend, while the Red and Whites defeated Mallorca on Monday night. The Green and Whites are currently occupying fifth spot in the Spanish top flight standings, having collected 48 points from 32 games, just three adrift of the top six but with a game in hand. The visitors, on the other hand, are languishing at the 13th position, with 37 points to their name from 32 league matches, 12 clear of the relegation zone.

After four successive defeats in March, Betis have managed to bounce back with back-to-back wins over Celta vigo and Valencia earlier this month. Last Saturday, the Green and whites secured all three points away to Los Che thanks to Ayoze Perez’s brace at Mestalla. It was their 12th La Liga win of the season. Meanwhile, Manuel Pellegrini’s men have done decently well in front of their own supporters this season, winning eight of their 16 top flight games at home, and collecting 30 points in the process. A victory on Sunday will help the Greens to move level on points with sixth-placed Real Sociedad, who are occupying the final European spot.
Sevilla, on the other hand, have won each of their last three games against the likes of Getafe, Las Palmas and Mallorca with an aggregate score of 5-1. On Monday, the Red and Whites got the better of the Pirates thanks to second-half efforts from Youssef En-Nesyri and Isaac Romero. It was their ninth league-win of the season. The victory helped Quique Sanchez Flores’ side to close the gap on tenth-placed Villarreal to just five points. Therefore a top-half finish is still very much achievable for the Palanganas.
Real Betis probable starting lineup: Silva, Sabaly, Pezzella, Riad, Miranda, Rodriguez, Cardoso, Fornals, Isco, Perez, Bakambu
Sevilla probable starting lineup: Nyland, Navas, Bade, Ramos, Salas, Ocampos, Soumare, Agoume, Torres, Romero, En-Nesyri
