SEVILLE-BETIS


Server problems have restricted the last couple of posts, so this will be brief.

I appreciate that the home team are in excellent form, but I cannot believe the asian handicap quote of +1 goal for the visitors.

This is one of the most intense derbies, not just in Spain, but anywhere in Europe. It is 11 meetings and 6 years, since either won this fixture by 2 or more goals, infact ,8 of the last 15 have finished all square.

Without a midweek fixture, Betis have had all week to prepare for this tie, unlike Seville who had the distraction of a UEFA Cup trip to Greece.

Previous form goes out of the window in matches like these, Betis were the last side to defeat Seville in a competitive fixture and will be looking for the "double".

5 points Betis +1 goal 1.74 asian line.

*** If you are unable to take the +1 goal, the +3/4 option @ circa 1.94 is also acceptable, but would suggest lowering the stakes a little.

Good Luck.
