Real Betis may have recent form on their side heading into their showdown with city rivals Sevilla, but goalkeeper Casto Espinosa insists neither team can be considered favourites for the derby.
After a dismal run that saw them pick up only one point from 10 matches, promoted Betis bounced back in style with successive victories over Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Sporting Gijon either side of Christmas to climb away from the relegation zone.
TEAM NEWS
Real Betis defender Mario is banned after being sent off in final weekend's loss at Barcelona. Antonio Amaya is out with an injury and so Ustaritz will partner Chechu Dorado in defence. Young midfield star Alejandro Pozuelo returns and could start.
Sevilla are missing striker Frederic Kanoute through suspension - he has five yellow cards - while midfielder Diego Perotti will not play as he has a hamstring injury. There are doubts over Manu del Moral (hamstring) and Martin Caceres (flu).
