Real Betis boss, Pepe Mel, has come out and said that his side will go for the win when they encounter their derby rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan.
Betis have had an impressive start in La Liga this season. Historically overshadowed by their neighbours, they are now four points ahead of them and sit on the 5th position with one game still to play.
Sevilla, on the other hand, have been struggling since the start of this campaign. A streak of poor results have caused them to slip to the second-half of the table.

“I am focused on Betis, not on the needs of Sevilla.”
The Beticos boss has also revealed that he will not settle for anything less than three points and wants to make sure his side keeps the upper hand this time around.
“I am after three points and the change in cycle between the clubs is very good, even if it does not add up to anything.”
The Spaniard said that he is pleased with how his team has performed so far. He also confessed that he is a Betico man and wishes to see both teams do well.
“If we win then we can grow, it is normal as we are high up, but I’m an atypical Betico and I wish that both teams were high up in the table.”
The 49-year-old has revealed that he has devised a plan for outmuscling his opponents, and one part of his strategy is to not focus on just one player.
“I have prepared a plan to win; we will not focus on one particular player.”
Finally, the tactician has ruled out any strategy for a draw and stated that his team will be out to expose the thumbscrew of Sevilla and hit them where it hurts the most.
“We are not thinking of the merit of a draw. We want to win and hurt them, look for their faults.”
This fixture is a must-win for both teams as one wants to widen the gap while the other wants to bridge it.
