Seville come into the match on the back of a 2-0 loss at Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Arsenal opened the scoring in the 29th minute and doubled their advantage 20 minutes into the second half.
Sevilla struggled to get any foothold in the game and the defeat means they are bottom of the group on just 2 points.
The loss at Arsenal ended a run of 3 matches without defeat for Sevilla. They beat Quintanar 3-0 away in the Copa Del Rey and picked up points in La Liga with draws against Cadiz and Celta Vigo away.
The win at Quintanar is the only victory for Sevilla in their last 9 fixtures in all competitions.
Trends show Sevilla are undefeated in their last 4 La Liga games. However, they have failed to win any of those 4 matches and have not won any of their 5 most recent league fixtures.
Sevilla are undefeated in their last 4 home La Liga matches and have seen both teams score in 6 of their last 7 league games on home soil.
Real Betis make the short journey across Seville to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán having beat Aris Limassol 4-1 at home in the Europa League on Thursday night.
It was a game Real Betis were expected to win and they took the lead in 34th minute.
The other goals all came in the second half, with Real Betis opening a 3-0 lead by the 79th minute and adding a fourth goal at the end of the match.
The win over Aris Limassol means Real Betis have won each of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions and are undefeated in each of their last 11 games.
The 5 recent wins have come over Osasuna and Mallorca at home in La Liga, Aris Limassol home and away in the Europa League, plus Hernán Cortés away in the Copa Del Rey.
Trends show Real Betis are undefeated in their last 3 away La Liga fixtures but all 3 games have ended level. Real Betis have won just 3 of their last 22 matches against Sevilla in La Liga.
Team news: Sevilla are without the injured trio of Marcos Acuña, Ørjan Nyland, and Sergio Ramos. They also have doubts over the fitness of Marcos Teixeira Marcão and Alfonso Pastor.
Real Betis have two players unavailable due to injury, with Youssouf Sabaly and Marc Bartra on the treatment table. Rui Silva remains a doubt.
Real Betis have been enjoying the better season but have not been winning on the road in La Liga. They also struggle to beat Sevilla in the league and that means this match could end level, with both teams scoring.
