After a couple of struggling seasons, Sevilla finally looks good and can catch up with the best teams in the country. Their city rival Betis has a slow start of the season but if there is one team that can beat anybody in the league, that is definitely the Green and Whites.

Betting tip and prediction: Sevilla– Betis (06.10.2024)
If there is a derby match in Spain that is at least close to El Classico, that is definitely the Elgran Derby between the two teams form Sevilla and the biggest teams in Andalusia. Last year, Sevilla barely survived in La Liga but this time, they look much better even though still far from the spots that lead in the international competitions. Betis is participating in the Conference League but are still preferring the domestic completion where they are playing much better. The stakes are as high as it gets in this game and as usual, we do not expect much scoring. Betis is playing low scoring games against anyone and they will get out on the pitch with the same mindset on Sunday. Sevilla is the team that needs to be more aggressive but they simply has no offensive capacity to score a lot. Going with under 2.5 goals in total is as safe as it gets, and for the given odds of 1,72, it is worth trying.
