Betis – Sociedad

Antonio Adan Real Betis Sevilla save

Real Betis and Real Sociedad will open the 26th round of football in the Spanish Primera Division.

Betis Sevilla has not had a great 2017 so far. They started the year with a win over Leganes, but failed to win any of their next 6 matches until finally getting a 2-1 victory over Malaga in the last round. Betis didn`t quite deserved to win that, as a draw would have been a more fair result, but it was a good, important victory nonetheless.

Real Sociedad is in good shape lately. The last time they lost against a team outside La Liga’s top 6 was at the start of December. Sociedad is on a good run and the results over the past few months helped them climb up to the 5th spot in the table. A win today would see them go up to the 4th place before the weekend matches. Last time out, Sociedad was held to a 2-2 home draw by Eibar.

Team news & lineups:

Carlos and Pardo will be out for Betis, while Sociedad will miss Juanmi, Martinez, Jose and Agirretxe.

Real Betis: Adan – Pezzella, Mandi, Toska – Piccini, Petros, Brasanac, Ceballos, Durmisi – Sanabria, Castro

Real Sociedad: Rulli – Odriozola, Martinez, Navas, Yuri – Prieto, Illarramendi, Zurutuza – Vela, Bautista, Oyarzabal

This looks like a pretty evenly matched clash on paper and I wouldn`t be surprised if it ends in a draw.

Sociedad is the better team and they are playing better football, so they definitely have a shot to win the game. However, Betis will be pumped up after last round’s win and they are a very good side when playing at home.

Betis lost only 3 times in 13 home games this season – but 6 of those 13 games were draws, so they are definitely very prone to such results at home. On the other hand, Real Sociedad is yet to record an away draw this season.

I expect a tight clash with Real Sociedad the more dangerous side, but with Betis able to close them down on their home turf. My tip is a draw on the Real Sociedad win no bet market. Prediction: Real Betis – Real Sociedad 1-1.
