Sevilla and Real Betis go head to head in Andalusia for three vital points in La Liga this weekend.

The home side sit just in the top half of the table but they will be determined to launch towards the top six by claiming maximum points over Betis this weekend.

Meanwhile, Betis will hope to overcome their surprise 2-1 defeat to Granada last week as they bid to edge closer to reigning champions Real Madrid in third place.

Negredo is expected to lead the line for Sevilla, while Jorge Molina and Ruben Castro should be chosen as a forward partnership for Betis.
