Real Sociedad were close to losing La Liga status last season, finishing just four points above the red line. Strong home performances got Betis qualified for the UCL, so I like their chances of winning here. 

Key Stats  


  • Real Betis have won their last 3 home matches (La Liga). 
  • Real Betis have won their last 2 home matches against Real Sociedad. 
  • Real Sociedad have lost their last 3 matches (pre-season). 

94-Year-Old Rivalry 


These two sides clashed 120 times so far, Real Sociedad having a 46-42 advantage in terms of victories. 32 matches ended without a winner. 

Betis Were Strong at Home Last Season 


Real Betis had a successful run in the Spanish La Liga last season, finishing fifth with 60 points after 38 rounds and securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League group phase. 

Their performances in Sevilla were strong, winning 10 out of 19 clashes while losing just three with a goal difference of 34-19 (won last three against Oviedo 3-0, Elche 2-1 and Levante 2-1). 

Manuel Pellegrini’s side played series of friendly matches against serious opposition, beating Lyon 4-0, Almeria 1-0, Arsenal 3-1, drawing against Bournemouth 2-2, while the only loss came against Inter Milan 1-0. 

Sociedad Struggled in Pre-Season 


Real Sociedad underperformed in La Liga in the previous campaign, grabbing just 46 points and finishing 10th just four points above the relegation zone, but still will participate in the Europa League. 

They achieved this by winning the Copa del Rey in mid-April, beating Atletico Madrid on penalties (result after extra-time was 2-2).  

Speaking of their pre-season, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side had solid results in late July, beating Wolves 2-1 and Aston Villa 4-2, but then recorded three consecutive defeats to Toulouse 2-1, Koln 2-1 and Chelsea 3-1.

Verdict
