Team News:
- Sevilla FC: Vitolo, Benoit Tremoulinas, Adil Rami (injured).
- R. Betis: Cristiano Piccini, Didier Digard and Juan Vargas (injured). Match Facts:
Sevilla FC (7th, 49 pts):
- The hosts haven't won in their last five outings, although they have come out on top in the most recent derby clashes. In the 2013/14 season, Sevilla got the better of their arch-rivals in both of the Liga BBVA games, including a 4-0 drubbing at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
- In his pre-match press conference Unai Emery stated that, "it's exactly the same Betis side, but they've now got greater confidence, which gives them more of a chance."

- Fifteen-goal Kevin Gameiro is the Sevillians' top scorer and he would seem to enjoy coming up against Betis, after netting both goals as Sevilla ran out 2-0 winners at the Benito Villamarin in the 2013-14 Liga BBVA clash.
Real Betis (13th, 41 pts):
- Betis have improved as the season has progressed and come into this one in fine form. Juan Merino's troops have collected seven of the last nine available points and are brimming with confidence after having claimed 41 points so far this term.
- Ahead of the clash, Merino has sought to motivate his players by reminding them that, "you've got to approach the derby games in a way that the fans would want you to."
The derby is warming up, and we need all the support. Thank you all so much for coming, you're the best fans! https://t.co/xHyZZThb5E

- This derby clash sees two potent hitmen go head-to-head. Whilst Gameiro is the man charged with firing Sevilla to victory, Betis have the division's joint-top Spanish goalscorer in their ranks in Ruben Castro, whose 17 goals place him alongside Aritz Aduriz and Borja Baston in these particular rankings.
Don't leave Seville without...visiting the Giralda tower, the Torre del Oro (Golden Tour) and the Plaza España, the city's main landmarks which offer the visitors a slice of the magic to be found in Andalusia.
