Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla).
This fixture is widely recognized as feistiest Spanish football competition and it's one that always generates a lot of talking points and in the last few years, a lot of goals. Over the last two seasons, there have been 18 goals in the derby Sevilla in La Liga with Betis began to compete better than they have done previously with their bitter local rivals. Both clubs are under new management this term so this will be the first taste of equipment for both Ruby and Julen Lopetegui.
For the former, this could be a make or break kind of game. Rubi buy himself some time with a key victory over Celta Vigo in the last home game Legs' and they backed that up with a hard-fought, if somewhat accidental draw at the Bernabeu last weekend. Victory over Sevilla would help unify shaky fan-base around this team and this coach but Betis will need to put in probably their best performance of the season if they want to get it.
Sevilla are in action on Thursday night but the team changed a lot of that is guaranteed a Europa League progress with a convincing victory in Luxembourg. A hat-trick from Munir and brace for Moanes Dabour show Sevilla have options in attack and really up the pressure on people like Luuk de Jong and Chicharito has struggled to convince the top in La Liga.
Betis have not really settled on how they want to play this season. Looks like they might go with a 4-2-3-1 approach with Marc Bartra occupy the midfield holding role. They have at least managed to stem the flow of goals conceded in their last two games but they still have a record La Liga with the worst defense nonetheless. At the top, Borja Iglesias looks like he will miss the scorer Loren Moron tends to lead in line with Nabil Fekir tucked in behind.
Sevilla while having to ring the changes on Thursday night. There is still a question-mark in several positions but they look really strong in the middle of the park with Fernando, Joan Jordan and Ever Banega provide a solid foundation from which to build an attack. They also appeared to have the advantage in Betis in the position of full-back.
