25th April 2023 – 22:00, Estadio Benito Villamarín, Sevilla
Betis and Real Sociedad will close Tuesday’s action in the La Liga 31st round. The home side hopes to return to the top-four race, while the visitors look forward to remaining 4th.
Betis Preview & Team News
Real Betis will be hoping to bounce back here after a 3-2 La Liga defeat last time out to Osasuna. That defeat helped their upcoming rivals to increase their advantage to six points in the race for the final Champions League ticket. It’s not been often in recent games that Real Betis has shown defensive steel. The facts show that Betis has failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous six matches, leaking eight goals on the way. That being said, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend shall persist in this match. Going into this one, Betis have not been beaten in the league by Real Sociedad in their last four games.
Real Sociedad Preview & Team News
Real Sociedad comes into this meeting following on from a 2-1 La Liga win to beat Rayo Vallecano in their most recent outing. That win helped them establish themselves in 4th position. For 5 of the past six clashes featuring Real Sociedad, a comparatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average number of goals per game in that period is a mere 1.83, with the average goals for Txuri-urdin equalling 1. Coming into this clash, Real Sociedad has not won away from home in their last four league games. Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Umar Sadiq (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Martín Merquelanz (Knee Injury) are those who can’t be considered.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The hosts haven’t been consistent lately, while Real Sociedad has been struggling on the road in the past few weeks. That’s why we believe splitting points in this match could be the most realistic outcome.
Goals Market Prediction
Sociedad has been trying to find the back of the net unsuccessfully in the previous two games away from home, but we think they will succeed this time. Therefore, we should see both teams scoring on Tuesday evening.
