Sevilla – Sociedad

Sevilla will continue its quest for a Top 4 finish, with the hosts currently 6 points behind 4th placed Villarreal. Needless to say a win is mandatory today and the hosts will be confident of hosting an out of form Real Sociedad team.

The hosts are on the back of a 0-4 loss at Real Madrid, but that match could have ended differently if Gameiro wouldn’t have missed a penalty at 0-1. It was actually a pretty good game for Sevilla and they were unlucky to lose by such a large margin. Invigorated by the International break, Sevilla will surely be happy to come back home, where they are riding an unbelievable streak of 17 consecutive wins in all competitions.

Real Sociedad is sitting on the 12th place, virtually safe from relegation and that might be a reason for their disappointing performances of late. The good form they had in February is long gone, as the visitors claimed just 2 points in the last 5 matches. Real Sociedad is on the back of two ugly 0-1 defeats against Celta Vigo and Las Palmas.

Team news & lineups:

Both teams are relatively healthy, Sevilla will miss Andreolli, while Konoplyanka is not 100% fit and will probably be on the bench. Sociedad won’t have Canales and Agirretxe in the lineup.

Sevilla: Rico – Mariano, Rami, Kolodziejczak, Tremoulinas – Cristoforo, Krychowiak – Vitolo, Banega, Krohn-Dehli – Gameiro

Real Sociedad: Rulli – Martinez, Elustondo, Martinez, Yuri – Reyes, Illaramendi, Granero – Oyarzabal, Jonathas, Vela

Sevilla is definitely worth riding as long as they keep up this amazing home form, especially against a team like Sociedad who is in poor form and doesn’t have anything left to fight for. The hosts are really playing well lately and looked good even in the 0-4 defeat to Real Madrid.

Sevilla has no option but to win this game and I expect them to do just that. The hosts are simply the better side, in better form, have more motivation than Sociedad and own home court advantage, which is obviously huge for them.

I won`t be greedy and I will tip Sevilla to win straight up, no handicaps or asian handicaps. The odds are good enough for the simple win and are currently plummeting. It`s no shock that the price is going down, the odds clearly seem too high – I wouldn`t have priced Sevilla over 1.50 here and even that seems too much. A stake of 9 units does not seem unreasonable for this bet. Prediction: FC Sevilla – Real Sociedad 2-0.
