Real Betis vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• There have been fewer than three strikes in four of Real Betis’ last five home fixtures
• Only one of Real Sociedad’s last 11 away games has seen more than two goals
• Betis have won just two of their last nine matches

Betis need to relieve pressure on Pelligrini

It’s been a dreadful run for Real Betis, who have now lost three of their last four games, failing to even score in two of those matches.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side, who lost 3-2 to Osasuna last time out, certainly have their injury problems, with the likes of Juanmi Jimenez and Nabil Fekir among their attacking absentees.

Both are being missed by a team who have seen four of their last five home fixtures contain fewer than three strikes, as have five of their last seven outings in all competitions.

Can Sociedad boost Champions League ambitions

That poor form leaves the door open for Real Sociedad to rack up a ninth away win of the campaign, although their 15 games on the road have seen only 36 goals scored.

Indeed, Imanol Alguacil’s side have failed to net in four of their last five fixtures on the road, not aided by their own injury problems, as Sadiq Umar and Diego Rico Salguero remain injured.

Ten of their last 11 away fixtures have now contained fewer than three strikes, as have 15 of their 17 most recent outings across all venues.

I predict there will be fewer than three goals in this game, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
