Real Betis are in poor shape right now, having lost four of their last five games and only managed one draw. They have been conceding plenty of goals and look a bit shaky at the back. Sevilla have had an up-and-down run, with two wins and two defeats in their last five. Their results have been a little more encouraging than Betis's recent form suggests.

In recent meetings between these two sides, the games have often been close. Three of the last four matches saw both teams score, usually finishing all square. Given Betis's defensive struggles and Sevilla's slightly better recent results, this match is likely to be a tight and open affair where a draw feels like the most probable outcome.
