THE AUDIT
SEVILLE
It’s been a few seasons of poor form for Sevilla, despite winning the UEFA Europa League. Diego Alonso, the fourth manager in just over 12 months, made a quiet start to his reign in the Andalusian capital, and his lackluster form continued midweek when they were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Sevilla have drawn their last 4 La Liga games and languish at the back of the table, just above the last 3 and the relegation places. They have managed 3 wins in 17 matches in all competitions so far this season, but have been entertaining averaging 3 goals per game in their 11 La Liga matches.
REAL BETIS
La Liga’s monetary turmoil is well known and no ‘big club’ has dealt with those ramifications as directly as Real Betis, but they are still fighting for European qualification. Manuel Pellegrini’s team on this day of mathematics got it right only among the six most sensible and arrived in perfect form.
Following their 4-1 win over Cypriot side Aris Limassol in the UEFA Europa League in midweek, they are now unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions, in a run that dates back to a narrow but unexpected 1-0 defeat to Rangers. in their first European match of the crusade in mid-September.

PROGNOSIS
The “frying pan of Spain” is Seville and Andalusia, and “The Great Derby” between Sevilla and Real Betis is arguably the fiercest rivalry in European football, let alone Spanish football. Sevilla, after a relegation war last year, are once again underperforming and the tension is starting to build a little over Diego Alonso. Real Betis consistently exceeds its overall budget, even though it has one of the largest and most productive fan bases in the country. It’s well worth watching and with two genuinely proactive coaches in the dugout, it may indeed be quite an entertaining derby, combined with most likely hysteria and drama.
