Real Betis vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Real Betis have won three of their last five at home
• Sociedad are on a run of two defeats in four
• Betis are unbeaten in the last eight head-to-heads

Can Betis sneak fifth spot?

There is plenty to play for in this fixture, which Real Betis enter sitting one point and one place behind Real Sociedad, who currently occupy the UEFA Europa Conference League spot.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side may well be confident of leapfrogging their opponents, given they have been in decent touch at home of late, winning three of their last five outings there.

Only one of those games, to Villarreal, has ended in defeat, while nine of their 14 La Liga victories have been registered at Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Sociedad looking to cling on

They will therefore provide a formidable opponent for Real Sociedad, even more so when you consider the visitors have not won any of the last eight head-to-heads, while failing to score in the last six!

The White and Blues are not in the best form either, losing 2-0 to Barcelona in their last away match, one of two defeats across four outings.

And while they have registered seven away league wins this season, it is worth noting that none of them have come against a team currently in the top seven positions in the table.

I predict that Real Betis will win this game, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
