The best betting picks







 Betis - Sevilla  Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
We go with the Andalusian derby. Without a doubt, one of the best football options to start the year. It is a special match, as soon as you get to know the Santander League you know that the points, the dynamics, the streaks do not matter ... the Seville match is always special and both take it as a final.

I will say that we are going against the forecast and I will also tell you that it is a forecast based more on sensations than on statistical data, because if we pull statistical data we should not be optimistic, but precisely because it is a special match, different from the others, in which It doesn't matter what dynamic they are going through, I believe in victory or a Betic draw.

I do not base my argument on this alone, nor would it occur to me. I like Real Betis de Pellegrini, it is true that they are capable of the best and the worst. This year they have seen moments of authentic good football, but it is also true that they are emerging from a very bad dynamic that almost cost the Chilean coach his job.

They come from playing good games against Osasuna, Villarreal or Cádiz. If it is true that they have the blur of Granada. It is not a dynamic to shoot rockets, but two victories, a good draw against Villarreal, and only one defeat in the last four games have given more credit to a team that chained 7 losses in the 9 games prior to that streak of four games that I comment on.



 
 
 

 
 
   
The Verdiblancos are with casualties, the most sensitive they have had is that of Canales, an injury that occurred in the match that he played a couple of months ago with Spain. He comes back and in fact has entered the call for the game against Levante, he may have minutes and I think that if Pellegrini sees him prepared, he can be a basic piece to reinforce the midfield against Sevilla. Another sensitive loss is Marc Bartra, although the Catalan will not arrive for this meeting.

That is the analysis of the Verdiblanco club that, despite all this, is not far from the European positions. We trust in the good dynamics that are making them soar. They played a good game against Villarreal and I think it is a match that can be compared within how "special and unique" this match is, as I have stressed before.

Sevilla is a great team, for me it is a real team, perhaps not as much as last year due to the losses of Banega and Reguilón, but it is a crazy team. So ... what do I do betting against them? Well, everything they have as a great team is also irregular. It is true that now they are well established and achieving better results than in the initial section of the season, but as true as that two days ago they tied 1 - 1 at Sánchez Pizjuan against Real Valladolid and perfectly they could and deserved to lose.


 
 
 
 
 
 

 
What happens? Well, in an isolated match where you find a Sevilla who has played against teams of a lower level sooner or later you can trust them more, but it is well known in the section in which they are, with an odyssey of matches against direct rivals. They come from winning in Valencia (if he can be considered a direct rival, which I think not), during the week he plays with Villarreal in a very tough game; but it is that after this and his match against Real Betis (Copa del Rey through which we ignore), Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid come to him. A month of scandal for a team with a squad but that does not have as much bench depth as it seems, or at least guarantees.

They have a key player among cotton, Fernando, who seems to be returning to the group and may be available for Lopetegui. It is a situation similar to that of Canales, I would say.

In short, a game in which the sensations for both teams prevail when betting in my case, since the statistics do not accompany, obviously, otherwise the 1X would not be so well paid in the match, but I have seen Betis play very good football this year and if there is a match where it can be done, it is the Andalusian derby. We are talking about players like Fekir, Joaquín, Borja Iglesias, Canales, Tello, Guido Rodríguez, Claudio Bravo ... they are players who can perfectly compete as equals and be superior to Sevilla, a great Sevilla, of course.
