Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan when Sevilla and Real Betis face each other in the Seville derby on Sunday. Los Sevillanos dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, and, no doubt, they must return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to stay in the title race. Marcos Acuna is back from suspension, while Anthony Martial will not take part in the local derby after suffering an injury in the last league match.
Defender Jules Kounde is banned for the hosts. Los Beticos, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Levante (4-2) and Mallorca (2-1). The Andalusian outfit have been scoring goals for fun of late, and given Sevilla’s attacking potential, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Juan Miranda and Martin Montoya should miss Sunday’s showdown with injuries.
