Sevilla vs Betis Prediction 30 November 2025

🔈 What will be the outcome of one of the most intriguing matchups of La Liga's 14th round? The "Seville Derby" is steeped in history and carries immense significance for both sides. The current standings compel each team to give their all to secure a favorable result in the upcoming Sunday clash. However, when it comes to a derby, relying solely on the current form of each side is misleading. Bookmakers anticipate an evenly matched contest, giving nearly identical odds for success to both the "Nervionenses" and the "Heliopolitans."

Head-to-Head

📊 Over the past decade, the "Nervionenses" have held a solid advantage in head-to-head clashes with the "Heliopolitanos." Let's break down the outcomes over their last 25 encounters: Sevilla have claimed victory 14 times, there have been 7 draws, and Betis have managed 4 wins. Last season, both clubs traded home wins: 1-0 at the "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" and 2-1 at the "Benito Villamarin." The "Green-and-Whites" haven't secured an away win against Sevilla since the 2017/18 La Liga campaign, when they triumphed 5-3. 

Sevilla Team Overview

🔴 The arrival of Matias Almeyda has injected a new energy into the team, and currently, the "Nervionenses" are steadily progressing towards their objectives. It's important to note that the appointment of the Argentine coach last offseason likely envisioned a long-term plan, so inconsistency in results is expected to be a recurring theme throughout this season. At present, the "Red and Whites" have yet to secure a spot in the top half of the standings, sitting at 11th place with 16 points. However, the club's remarkable offensive progress cannot be overlooked, averaging 1.46 goals per game, which ranks as the sixth-best in the league.

⚪ In their last outing, the "Nervionenses" fell victim to the formidable atmosphere at "Cornella-El Prat," suffering a defeat to Espanyol (1-2). Sevilla fought hard to impose their style of play, gaining territorial control from the start. However, the "Parakeets" did everything possible to neutralize the possession of the visiting team. Yet, it's worth focusing on the expected goals ratio: 1.82 to 1.09 in Sevilla's favor. This statistic highlights poor finishing and a bit of misfortune. The standout player for the "Red and Whites" this season has been Ruben Vargas, who has recorded 3 goals and 4 assists in 12 La Liga appearances.

Real Betis Team Overview

🎤 Manuel Pellegrini's squad have established themselves as a formidable force in recent years. This season, the Seville club are once again in the hunt for European competition spots, currently sitting in 5th place in La Liga. The "Heliopolitans" have suffered only two defeats across all competitions this season, against Athletic Bilbao (1-2) and Atletico Madrid (0-2). Real Betis are on a six-game unbeaten run, highlighting the club's clear strategy and the coaching staff's effective planning. Notably, the "Green-and-Whites" average 1.54 goals scored per game while conceding 1.08.

❌ In their last La Liga outing, the "Heliopolitans" played to a 1-1 draw with Girona at the Benito Villamarín. Despite creating numerous threats and attempting to pin their opponents in their own half, the "Green-and-Whites" could not convert their slight advantage into a victory. The red card shown to Antony in the 91st minute was particularly painful, as the Brazilian winger will be sorely missed this coming Sunday. Midweek, Betis extended their unbeaten streak in the current Europa League campaign by defeating Utrecht (2-1). In that European fixture, Betis clearly demonstrated their ability to maintain total dominance in ball possession.

Latest news

Sevilla

🎤 Ahead of the much-anticipated "Seville derby," Matias Almeyda spoke to reporters: "These are special matches, and I'm thrilled to be here when they take place. Everyone wants to win and steps onto the field with the same mindset. I don't often encounter fans on the street, so I'm not aware of their opinions, but it's clear they all want a victory. We need to play this match with pride for what we represent because it's part of our city's history. I live in the present, with no regrets about what happened 30 years ago. I'm fortunate to be the manager of this team, and we want to give it our all to win this derby. Derbies are different from any other games. It doesn't matter if you're in good form or not. Players need to show character to handle such a game. The team that makes fewer mistakes will come out on top. Hopefully, that will be us."

❌ In Sevilla's infirmary are Adnan Januzaj, Nianzou Kouassi, Gabriel Suazo, and Ruben Vargas. Each of these players plays a significant role in Matias Almeyda's tactical setup, making it intriguing to see how the coaching staff will cope with their absence.

Real Betis

📰 Recently, a significant event unfolded for everyone connected with Betis—head coach Manuel Pellegrini extended his contract with the Seville club until 2027. The Chilean tactician took the helm of the "Heliopolitans" in the summer of 2020, and since then, he has led the team to victory in the 2022 Copa del Rey and secured European competition qualification for five consecutive seasons. Notably, in May 2025, the "Green-and-Whites" made history by reaching the final of the Europa Conference League, where they were defeated by Chelsea (1-4). Pellegrini's tactical approach is centered around a 4-3-3 formation, adapting to the strengths of opponents.

❌ Among the injured Betis players are Sofyan Amrabat (leg injury), Hector Bellerin (muscle injury), Isco (leg injury), and Giovani Lo Celso (leg injury). Additionally, they cannot count on Antony, who is suspended.

⚽ Goal Prediction

⚽ Goal Prediction

It's worth noting that Betis traditionally struggle in head-to-head clashes against Sevilla. In their last 5 encounters, the "Heliopolitans" have failed to keep a clean sheet. This trend has also been evident in the last 3 matches of the current season. We believe the home side, leveraging their significant attacking progress and home advantage, will find a way to trouble their fierce rivals. Our pick is Sevilla's individual total over 1 goal.

🚩 Corner Prediction

We suggest crafting a rational bet based on the ratio of corners earned and conceded by the teams this season. Sevilla can't boast a positive trend in this statistical area: 5.3 earned against 5.6 conceded. The same applies to Betis: 4.8 earned against 5.3 conceded. Notably, in 7 of the last 8 matches involving the "Heliopolitans," there have been at least 11 corner kicks. Our choice is total corners over 9.5.

Betis traditionally struggle to get the desired result at the “Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan”. As mentioned earlier, it's inaccurate to analyze potential derby scenarios solely based on the current form of the teams. This is more about emotions, character, and the desire to prove themselves to their arch-rivals. The “Nervionenses” are showing improvement under Matias Almeyda and are quite capable of taking points from the “Green-and-Whites” once again. We predict a final score of 2-1, with the key bet being Sevilla not to lose.
