Betis, who are going through a magnificent football moment, receive Real Sociedad, who do not want to lose against a direct rival, such as Betis, for the Champions League places. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Real Betis
Betis come into this matchday happier and more motivated than ever, as the Andalusian team was able to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou in the last league game. In a match in which they were able to defend very well against Barça’s attacks and take advantage of the counter attacks to do some damage. Manuel Pellegrini’s boys are currently in third place.
Betis have won four of their last five games at the Benito Villamarin Stadium, making them the third best team in the last five matchdays. The bad news is that they have conceded at least one goal in their last four home games (six goals in four games).
In 16 matchdays, Betis’ games have had a total of 44 goals, which means an average of 2.75 total goals per game. This average is even higher if we look at their home games, where eight games have seen a total of 35 goals, which means an average of 4.38 total goals per game, a very high average.
Real Sociedad
A week of negative feelings for Real Sociedad, who lost their last match at home, 0-2, against Real Madrid. Apart from not winning the game, which was quite predictable, the Basque team hardly generated any danger to Thibaut Courtois’ goal. Real Sociedad’s level has dropped a lot in the last few games.
With four wins, two draws and two defeats, Real Sociedad remain the fourth best away team in La Liga Santander so far. Of the 19 total goals scored, 14 of them have been as away team, and of the 13 total goals conceded ten of them have also been as away team, which shows that they are a more attacking and less defensive style team when playing away than when playing at the Reale Arena Stadium.
Real Socieda have two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five meetings with Betis at the Benito Villamarín Stadium in La Liga Santander.
Betis are going through their best moment of the season, with a very attacking style of play, although it is true that their defence are sometimes very good and sometimes very bad, they are not very consistent. Despite Real Sociedad’s slight drop in form over the last few games, we think they have a better team and, above all, a very good defence. In short, we think it will be an even match, but we see Real Sociedad as favourites to win this match.
