Real Sociedad and Betis Sevilla will square off in the opening match of the 7th round in the Spanish Primera Division.
Real Sociedad had its best game of the season two rounds ago in a 4-1 win over Las Palmas, but they were unable to back up that performance and lost 0-2 last weekend at Eibar. The hosts are currently sitting on the 11th place in La Liga, having 1 point less than Betis and will hope that returning at home will help them claim a very important victory tonight.
Betis is sitting on the 10th place right now, but they really struggled (especially defensively) before claiming a 1-0 win last round against Malaga. It was the second clean sheet of the season for Betis, who conceded 10 times in the first 5 rounds. It was actually a lucky clean sheet, as Malaga had a couple of huge chances which they missed.

Real Betis: Adan – Piccini, Mandi, Pezzella, Durmisi – Musonda, Brasanac, Petros – Joaquin, Alegria, Castro
Both teams have been involved in high scoring games this season and I can see a bet on goals being successful here. I think stats are very useful to check ahead of this match.
Real Sociedad has a goal difference of 8-9 in six rounds, that’s an average of 2.83 goals / game scored in their matches.
Real Betis has a goal difference of 8-11 in six rounds, that’s an average of 3.17 goals / game scored in their matches.
While it’s true that Betis was involved in a couple of low scoring matches over the last two rounds (0-1 vs Sevilla and 1-0 vs Malaga), I reckon that was circumstantial. The match against Sevilla was a massive derby with a lot of intensity, while Malaga is known to be a low scoring team which fragments the game.
Both teams are offensive minded, so both should have spaces to exploit in this match. Real Sociedad and Betis each have the offensive quality to take advantage of those spaces and create chances. I believe both teams will score here, so that will be my tip. Prediction: Real Sociedad – Real Betis 2-1.
