Middling squad Real Betis (5-6-4, 19 points) is scheduled to take on contending team Sevilla FC (6-5-4, 22 points) in a Seville derby at the Estadio Benito Villamarín on December 19th, Saturday as the 2015-2016 La Liga season continues.
Betis is having a mercurial season so far, currently settling for 11th place in the league table after two wins, three losses, and a draw in their last six assignments.
Their most recent game was a 0-1 defeat in the hands of bottom three club Las Palmas last Saturday at the Estadio Gran Canaria, via ESPN.
Pepe Mel's men struggled to score the whole match and it certainly contributed to the clean sheet of Las Palmas goalie Javi Varas.
The score was actually tied until full time, but Los Amarillos forward Willian Jose scored three minutes into injury time to snatch the point away from Os Béticos.
Meanwhile, Sevilla trounced Sporting Gijon, 2-0, also last Saturday at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, as per Sports Mole.
French striker Kevin Gameiro scored a brace for Unai Emery's side at the 75th and 80th minutes respectively en route to the team's runaway victory.
The win is the Sevillistas second in their last three outings as the team extended its unbeaten run to three games.
Sevilla is currently in the seventh spot of the league table.
The prediction is a 2-0 victory for Sevilla. Emery and his boys continue their undefeated run against a struggling Betis eleven.
Real Betis starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Adan; Piccinini, Westermann, Jordi, Vargas; Joaquin, Torres, Petros, Cejudo; Molina, Castro
Sevilla starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Rico; Mariano, Rami, Kolodziejczak, Escudero; N'Zonzi, Krychowiak; Vitolo, Banega, Krohn-Delhi; Llorente
