In what should be a lively encounter on the La Liga return, Sevilla will host local rivals Real Betis behind closed doors on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what was an eye-catching unbeaten run prior to the break, Sevilla still sit in pole position to secure a top-four return this season. In their 27 La Liga matches this year, they have recorded 13 wins, eight draws, and six defeats, scoring 39 and conceding 29 in return. With a points tally of 47, the Whites open Thursday’s Spanish return sat in third, but, holding just a one-point buffer from losing their Champions League status. As for their run of results prior to the break, the midweek hosts were unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, collecting two wins and four draws. It should also be noted that five of Sevilla’s last six La Liga home fixtures have seen both teams find the net by full-time, including their last three appearances on the bounce.

As for the visitors, despite picking up a shock victory prior to the break, Real Betis were in the midst of a real inconsistent patch. In their 27 La Liga matches this season, they have recorded eight wins, nine draws, and 10 defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 43 in return. Opening Thursday’s return sat in 12th with a points tally of 33, it should be noted that no side outside of the relegation zone holds a worse defensive record than the Green and Whites. As for their run of results prior to the interruption, the midweek guests had managed to win just one of their last eight matches across all formats. It should also be noted that along with each of their last three La Liga matchups seeing both teams find the net, five of Betis’ last six contests have ended in a similar outcome.
