Sevilla vs Real Betis: Preview
Sevilla form analysis
Sevilla’s recent run of games has showcased occasional attacking threat but a lack of consistency in performances. They started with a lucky 1-0 home win over rivals Barcelona thanks to a Sergio Ramos own goal against the run of play. However, problems surfaced in attack in their next game – a 2-2 home draw with Rayo Vallecano, going two behind early before Sow and En-Nesyri’s late equalizer salvaged a point.
Their offensive struggles continued in their next match, a 1-1 away draw with Real Madrid – relying on an Alaba own goal to claim a point after another largely blunt display. Sevilla’s attack clicked better next game but defensive issues persisted in a 2-2 away draw at Cadiz, equalizing twice through Ocampos and Rakitic after going behind early on. Most recently they ground out a 1-1 away draw at Celta Vigo, equalizing late through En-Nesyri in another unconvincing performance. Overall, Sevilla have struggled for consistency in attack while also looking vulnerable defensively this season.
