Straight
Sevilla is receiving Betis in the Sevillian derby on matchday 35 of the League. At the moment, the goalless draw in the second half remains. In the first half there has not been any clear occasion, in what is being a locked match and with too much respect between the contenders. The Sevillian team arrives full after having gotten into the Europa League final against Juventus. Mendilibar’s men have had a very irregular season in the League and have not been able to guarantee mathematical permanence until this day, after the defeat by Valladolid and the draw by Getafe. With the Europa League in mind, Sevilla faces Betis, who have a much better track record in the local competition, in which they are sixth. The Verdiblanco team will seek to take the three points to guarantee their presence in Europe next season.
