Sevilla take on Betis in Sunday’s El Gran Derbi.
As Sevilla aim to extend their unbeaten streak and seek their 50th win in El Gran Derbi, Real Betis enter Sunday's showdown hoping to capitalize on their defensive strength despite recent European disappointment.
Sevilla
For a second game running, Sevilla left it late, thanks to an own goal by Athletic Club's goalkeeper Álex Padilla [O.G. 90'+ 3], after a hard-fought 1-1 draw for García Pimienta's side. "We went behind, but we never let them take the game away from us. We played well overall and deservedly got an equaliser late on," the manager stated after the draw.
Sevilla are now unbeaten in their last two matches [LWLWD], picking up seven points from their last four [2W, 1D, & 1L], a huge improvement from just two points in their opening four matches [0W, 2D, & 2L]. The draw helped them rise to 13th place with nine points [2W, 3D, & 3L] after eight matches, one more than each of their previous eight league campaigns.
Next in line is Sunday’s El Gran Derbi against Real Betis, a side they have not lost to in their last 11 La Liga meetings [6W, 5D, & 0L]. At home, Los Nervionenses are on a six-match unbeaten run against the visitors in La Liga [4W, 2D, & 0L].
A win will see Sevilla reach 50 wins against Betis, while the hosts could score 100 goals at home against the 10th La Liga team if they find the net three times in Sunday's derby. However, the last four league encounters between both teams have ended in draws, and the fixture could have a historic five consecutive draws if no winner emerges on Sunday.
A 4—2—3—1 with Kelechi Iheanacho in attack is likely to be seen for this clash.
Real Betis
Betis kicked off their Europa Conference League journey with a 1-0 defeat away to Polish side Legia Warszawa on Thursday night. Los Mejores' boss Manuel Pellegrini blamed the loss on the absence of some players, stating, "We have little creativity without Isco, William, and Lo Celso, and that was what was missing today."
On the domestic scene, Betis ended a two-match winless streak with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Espanyol, courtesy of Giovani Lo Celso's late goal in the 85th minute. The win helped Pellegrini's side climb to 8th place with 12 points from eight matches, reflected in their recent form.
Los Mejores will hope to pick up a positive result in the Seville derby on Sunday, buoyed by their defensive solidity that has seen them concede the third-fewest goals in La Liga this season. A 4-2-3-1 formation with Cedric Bakambu in attack is expected on Sunday.
