Sevilla vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips & Predictions

The contrast between Sevilla’s home and away form must be driving Unai Emery to the point of despair. Incredibly they are still without an away win in La Liga this term and that is most likely going to cost them a place in the Champions League next season. At home though they are as good as anyone in Europe and will be going for their 18th consecutive home victory here in all competitions which is some record and has helped cement them in 6th place. Sevilla were beaten 4-0 at Real Madrid just before the international break and will have half an eye on their trip to Bilbao on Thursday in the Europa League but will still expect to bounce back with 3 points here.

Real Sociedad are an unpredictable side, who have put in a few stunning away performances so Sevilla will have to be on guard. The Basques have 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0 away wins to their name this season in La Liga but they have also been poor on far too many occasions and after a 4 match winning streak they find themselves without a win in 5 games coming into this one. Real Sociedad are in 11th place and have 35 points but are closer to the relegation zone than the European positions so they’ll be keen for another win or two sooner rather than later to secure their top flight status without any end of season drama.

That win is unlikely to come here though. Sevilla are just so strong on their home patch and play with so much belief that you have to like the look of backing Sevilla -1.0 Asian Handicap at 2.050. 13 of those 17 consecutive home wins have been by 2 goals or more and Real Sociedad are often unconvincing at the back so that certainly appeals here.
