The Great Derby will pit Seville nemeses Sevilla and Real Betis against one another for the first time this season.
Two of the biggest rivals in La Liga will do battle on Sunday when Real Betis makes the short trip to the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to face a Sevilla side growing in confidence. After starting the season without a win in four games, Garcia Pimienta’s side have lost just one of their last four games and are targeting a third consecutive win at home when the green and white half of Seville comes to visit. Betis, on the other hand, is riding high at eighth in the standings after a promising start to the new term and targeting a spot among the European contenders with a Great Derby win.

Victory in this fixture is up there with the most meaningful for any Sevilla or Betis supporter, with the past four editions of The Great Derby ending in draws coming into Sunday’s encounter.
Giovani Lo Celso helped himself to a fifth goal of the season when he converted an 85th-minute decider against Espanyol last weekend:
The Argentinian has proved a shrewd signing since rejoining Los Verdiblancos from Tottenham over the summer, with the World Cup-winner bringing a welcome touch of class to the midfield.
Sevilla, meanwhile, is developing a habit for late drama after snagging back-to-back results in the 85th minute or later, starting with Chidera Ejuke’s late winner at home to Real Valladolid.
A third straight home win for Los Nervionenses would be sufficient to pull them level with Betis for the time being, with the guests having failed to win at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan since 2018.
