📋 Team News: Real Betis

The Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this match with a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

We are thinking that Béticos may well use the 4-2-3-1 system for this game with Rui Silva, Youssouf Sabaly, German Pezzella, Chadi Riad, Juan Miranda, Guido Rodriguez, Johnny, Pablo Fornals, Isco, Ayoze Perez and Cedric Bakambu.

🗞️ Team News: Sevilla

Sevilla manager Quique Sánchez Flores has to currently contend with reduced team options. Djibril Sow (Broken toe), Óliver Torres (Shoulder injury), Loïc Badé (Muscle injury) and Nemanja Gudelj (Meniscus injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that Sevillistas appear most likely to play in a 5-3-2 system, giving starts to O. Haaskjold Nyland, Loic Bade, Sergio Ramos, Marcos Acuna, Jesus Navas, Lucas Ocampos, Suso, Lucien Agoume, Boubakary Soumare, Isaac Romero and Youssef En-Nesyri.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Sevilla will likely be able to put a goal past this Real Betis team, but that probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

Our selection here is for a 2-1 winning margin for Real Betis when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
