Betis vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-03-29 19:00.
[p]Real Betis have stormed into contention not just for another tilt at the UEFA Conference League but potentially even a return to the UEFA Europa League after a hard-fought 3-2 win at Leganés stretched their La Liga winning streak to five games. Considering they went into the last Seville derby with their joint-worst eight game start to a La Liga season in five years, they appear primed to avenge October’s 1-0 loss to Sevilla.[/p]
[p]Manager Manuel Pellegrini won March’s La Liga Manager of the Month award for their perfect league run, which featured a pair of wins at home to Real Madrid (2-1) and Las Palmas (1-0). A return to form has probably come at the perfect time given they haven’t won any of their last 12 La Liga H2Hs against their fierce rivals (D5, L7).[/p]
[p]Sevilla need no extra incentive to complete a league double, but they too are not yet out of the race for European football. Despite winning just three of ten league games this calendar year (D5, L2), Spain’s increasing chances of securing a fifth Champions League main draw slot for next season and the Copa del Rey result could push the Conference League play-off round slot down from sixth to seventh or potentially even eighth. [/p]
[p]They’re almost certainly going to need to make up ground not only by continuing their domination of the Seville derby but also their impressive recent away form. All three of Sevilla’s league wins in 2025 have come on the road, and they’re yet to lose a La Liga away game this calendar year (W3, D2) despite falling behind twice, conceding no more than one goal in a match during that stretch.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Isco has scored in five of his last six competitive appearances for Betis, including three goals from the spot, with a further three assists. He also scored a penalty in a 1-1 draw at home to Sevilla last season. Dodi Lukébakio’s last five goals all came on the road, the four most recent of which arrived beyond the 80th minute. He also happened to be the only scorer in the reverse H2H![/p]
[p]Hot stat: Nine of the last ten La Liga H2Hs produced under 2.5 total goals.[/p]
