Sevilla will take on Real Betis in the ninth round of La Liga on Sunday, October 6, with kickoff scheduled for 16:15 Central European Time. The Sportsmacro analysts have prepared a detailed forecast for this exciting clash.
Sevilla
Sevilla appears to be carrying over last season’s struggles, having finished 14th—an outcome widely seen as a major disappointment. They ended the previous campaign with four consecutive defeats, and this lack of form continued into the first four rounds of the current season, where they failed to secure a win. After drawing with Las Palmas and Mallorca and losing to Girona and Villarreal, they finally achieved their first victory in the fifth round with a narrow 1-0 win over Getafe.
However, that success was short-lived, as they suffered another defeat, losing 1-2 to Alavés. On a more positive note, Sevilla has since remained unbeaten in their last two matches, drawing with Athletic Bilbao and claiming a 2-1 victory over Valladolid. They currently sit 13th in the table with just nine points, five points shy of the European competition zone.
Real Betis
Betis finished last season in seventh place, earning a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League. They currently sit in eighth place in La Liga. In the first three rounds, Betis managed draws against Girona and Alavés but suffered a 0-2 defeat to Real Madrid.

However, they had a disappointing start to their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign, losing 0-1 away to Legia Warsaw.
