Football Bet of the Day: Derby day to bring out the best in Betis and Sevilla

Sevilla v Real Betis
Tuesday 21:00 (Live on Sky Sports 2)

Alaves 0 Deportivo 0 in Spain last night. Our decent win will be scant consolation to anyone who bothered to get to Mendizorrotza Stadium last night. But it does mean we're keen to hang around the Iberian peninsula for at least one more day.

In particular, we've got our eye on the Seville derby, which goes off at Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium tonight.

Jorge Sampaoli's first two home games in charge of Sevilla have brought 13 goals: a 6-4 win over Espanyol, backed up by a 2-1 success against Las Palmas.

Gus Poyet's first away days with Real Betis brought a 2-6 defeat at the Camp Nou, then a 3-2 victory in Valencia. At the weekend, they drew 2-2 at home to Granada.

With Sevilla missing both of the centre-backs who started their game in Eibar at the weekend, we like the price on another goal fest this evening.
