The next previews we have for you come from the Spanish top flight with Real Sociedad taking on Real Betis as the betting tips continue in La Liga at the Reale Arena.
Real Sociedad Prediction – Can Real Sociedad hit re-set button?
Following back-to-back defeats just before the international break, Real Sociedad have had time to reflect and hit the re-set button as the La Liga action resumes this weekend and the hosts will no doubt be keen to bounce back with a win on home turf this Sunday lunchtime when they entertain lowly Real Betis at their Reale Arena.
Losses to Sevilla 3-2 away and a 2-1 defeat at home to Getafe halted the hosts’ previous progress up the Spanish top flight league table although a 5th place position isn’t too bad a platform to build from hereon in.
It’s also worth mentioning that the two recent losses were to teams sitting in the top 8 of La Liga too as Getafe sit in 6th place and Sevilla in 8th spot, while Real Sociedad’s home record in these early stages of the season sits at an encouraging 2-0-1 6/2.
A 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid was undoubtedly the highlight so far for the hosts but they then backed that up with a resounding 3-0 win over Deportivo Alaves, so they’re looking like a force to be reckoned with at their Reale Arena.
Real Betis Prediction – Can Real Betis steer clear of relegation zone?
Having won just 2 of their opening 8 matches of this new Spanish top flight season, it looks like being a tough campaign for Real Betis as they look to keep their heads above water ahead of this difficult looking trip to face Real Sociedad away from home.
Both of Real Betis’s league wins so far have been achieved on home turf at their Estadio Benito Villamarín with victories over bottom club, Leganes, 2-1 and a 3-1 win over mid-table outfit, Levante, but this is where their modest success so far this season stops.
A disappointing away record of 0-1-2 3/10 includes heavy defeats at Barcelona 5-2 and a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Villarreal whilst picking up a point in a 0-0 stalemate against 12th placed Osasuna.
Real Betis also possess the worst defensive record away from home in La Liga so far this season as they’re the only team to concede double figures to date on the road. Real Betis have also managed to record just 1 win out of their last 9 matches on their travels in La Liga.
Key-Facts – Real Sociedad v Real Betis
- Real Sociedad have won 4 of their last 5 matches at home in La Liga
- Real Betis have won just 1 of their last 9 away matches in La Liga
